The Hawaiian pineapple industry emerged in the late nineteenth century
as part of an attempt to diversify the Hawaiian economy from
dependence on sugar cane as its only staple industry. Here, economic
historian Richard A. Hawkins presents a definitive history of an
industry from its modest beginnings to its emergence as a major
contributor to the American industrial narrative. He traces the rise
and fall of the corporate giants who dominated the global canning
world for much of the twentieth century. Drawing from a host of
familiar economic models and an unparalleled body of research, Hawkins
analyses the entrepreneurial development and twentieth-century
migration of the pineapple canning industry in Hawaii. The result is
not only a comprehensive history, but also a unique story of American
innovation and ingenuity amid the rising tides of globalization.
