Sven A. Kirsten, 2020

Overview

Urban islands and bamboo hideaways provide the backdrop for a unique pop culture phenomenon. In mid-century America, the imaginative appeal of Tiki permeated fashion, music, dining, drinking, and architecture. This book traces Tiki's development as both a romantic vision and a form of cultural appropriation, following its journey from early Pacific Island expeditions and exotic paintings to Hollywood jungle fantasies and elaborate temples.
