From their earliest encounters with indigenous Pacific Islanders white Europeans and Americans asserted an identification with the racial origins of Polynesians declaring them to be racially almost white and speculating that they were of Mediterranean or Aryan descent In Possessing Polynesians Maile Arvin analyzes this racializing history within the context of settler colonialism across Polynesia especially in Hawaii Arvin argues that a logic of possession through whiteness animates settler colonialism through which both Polynesia the place and Polynesians the people become exotic feminized belongings of whiteness Seeing whiteness as indigenous to Polynesia provided white settlers with the justification needed to claim Polynesian lands and resources Understood as possessions Polynesians were and continue to be denied the privileges of whiteness Yet Polynesians have long contested these classifications claims and cultural representations and Arvin shows how their resistance to and refusal of white settler logic have regenerated Indigenous forms of recognition

How does medical science advance Popular historians would have us believe that a few heroic individuals possessing superhuman talents lead an unselfish quest to better the human condition But as renowned Yale surgeon and medical historian Sherwin B Nuland shows in this brilliant collection of linked life portraits the theory bears little resemblance to the truthThrough the centuries the men and women Who have shaped the world of medicine have been not only very human people but also very much the products of their own times and places Presenting compelling studies of great medical innovators and pioneers Doctors gives us the extraordinary story of the development of modern medicine told through the lives of the physicianscientists whose deeds and determination paved the way Ranging from the legendary Father of Medicine Hippocrates to Andreas Vesalius whose Renaissance masterwork on anatomy offered invaluable new insight into the human body to Helen Taussig founder of pediatric cardiology and coinventor of the original blue baby operation here is a volume filled with the spirit of ideas and the thrill of discovery Says The New York Times Doctors can be warmly recommended Dr Nuland succeeds in bringing his subjects vividly to life and he leaves you with a much better understanding of what they achievedFrom the Trade Paperback edition
