SynopsisUrban islands and bamboo hideaways set the stage for a pop culture phenomenon like no other. In mid-century America, the imaginative appeal of Tiki penetrated fashion, music, eating, drinking, and architecture. In handy Bibliotheca Universalis format, Tiki Pop traces the development of Tiki as romantic vision and cultural appropriation. Follow Tiki from James Cook's first Pacific Island expeditions, through Gauguin's exotic paintings, Hollywood jungle fantasies, and elaborate temples erected to celebrate Tiki as the god of recreation. With hundreds of images, Tiki the pop icon unfolds from its earliest, enthusiastic beginnings to its spectacular downfall in the dawning awareness of the Western world's colonial misdeeds. This book is the culmination of the extensive research of Sven Kirsten, urban archaeologist, Tiki sage, and author of earlier TASCHEN investigations, The Book of Tiki and Tiki Modern , which first recovered the figure of Tiki from obscurity. In his widely lauded graphic style, Kirsten places venerable ancient godheads next to their Polynesian pop counterparts, movie posters next to matchboxes, comic strips next to Robinson Crusoe illustrations. The result is at once a visual feast, a piece of cultural history, and a tribute to a very particular vision of paradise., Urban islands and bamboo hideaways set the stage for a pop culture phenomenon like no other.

Tiki History
A great entertaining history of Tiki. Plenty of pictures of historic Tiki, some of the book is not in English, but not to fear, it's a great read. Only those who love this kinda stuff will truly appreciate this large work on the subject. Over 600 pages very well done with a treasure trove of photos by cinematographer and author Sven Kirsten. I really loved it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great book, however not sure why they have it written in 3 languages for 1 book. That's why it's over 600 pages long. Lots of great pictures though.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
