Built without the contribution of architects or engineers, and with minimal government oversight, the Walled City, before it's demolition in 1993, was the most densely populated place on the planet.: home to 35.000 people living in 300 interconnected buildings in a single Hong Kong city block. After several failed attempts, Kowloon Walled City was finally demolished 20 years ago, leaving behind a legacy of fascination that continues to grow, fueled in part by the extraordinary communities of many urban legends.

In his autobiography, Recollections, Memoirs of John Dominis Holt, 1919-1935, Holt conveyed his impressions and thinking as a hapa-haole Hawaiian man. Genealogy mattered. Among his illustrious European ancestors were the English Lord George Paulet and the French Lucien Bonaparte. He writes: Our family identity was created and nurtured in part by those hapa-haole house odors, creating a greenhouse effect that flowed through the rooms. But the air itself was Hawaiian. The smells of the land, trees, shrubs and flowers, the appearance of rocks covered with lichen and the various smells of these ashore were all unmistakably Hawaiian. The enormous reality of our having been people with Hawaiian ancestors who had lived for eons separated and distinct culturally and spiritually from the other people of the world was a powerful, silent determinant in our emotional attachment to the idea of… Read More

Light shelf wear to edges of dust jacket Pages and photos like new Ships from Hawaii‎. -- Book Club edition only members of the Le Grand Livre Du Mois BC, was not for salein stores. Orientalism, born of the great voyages to the "mysterious" East, was a fashion of the West which successively took on several aspects. Finally, it blended into the colonial spirit.
