A culture regenerates itself through education. Hawaiian education can be studied in detail: Nineteenth-century Hawaiians wrote much on the subject and today's Hawaiians continue many classical practices. Using these sources, John Charlot provides the most complete description to date of education in an oral culture. He shows how education permeated the Hawaiians' life and was a central factor in encounters with foreigners, including the interaction of their oral education with the literate schooling introduced by missionary teachers. Finally, many problems experienced by Hawaiians in today's schools can be clarified in this historical context. In two separate short monographs, Charlot analyzes the education novels of Moses Kuaea Nakuina and makes detailed proposals for Hawaiian culture programs from kindergarten to university. Includes Adobe Acrobat Reader(r).Charlot, John is the author of 'Classical Hawaiian Education Generations of Hawaiian Culture', published 2005 under ISBN 9780939154715 and ISBN 0939154714.
