A Defence of the Missions in the South Sea, and Sandwich Islands
Print on DemandDa: Forgotten Books, London, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of missionary efforts in the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) by analyzing the allegations made against their work by observers, most notably in the Quarterly Review of 1827. The author provides evidence that the missionaries were not responsible for the decline in the islands' population or the alleged increase in idleness among the natives. Rather, the author contends that the missionaries played a vital role in bringing about significant societal and cultural changes in the islands, including the abolition of human sacrifice and infanticide. The book also refutes the claim that the missionaries were solely responsible for introducing European diseases to the islands and argues that the missionaries' efforts were instrumental in preserving the native Hawaiian population and culture.
