  1. California Tiki: A History of Polynesian Idols, Pineapple Cocktails and Coconut Palm Trees Description : The fascinating story behind California&#8217s mid-twentieth century obsession with all things Polynesian and Hawaiian. &nbspAfter World War II, suburbs proliferated around California cities as returning soldiers traded in their uniforms for business suits. After-hours leisure activities took on an island-themed sensuality that bloomed from a new fascination with Polynesia and Hawaii. Movies and television shows filmed in Malibu and Burbank urged viewers to escape everyday life with the likes of Elvis, Gidget, and Hawaiian Eye. Restaurants like Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic&#8217s sprang up to answer the demand for wild cocktails and even wilder d&#233cor. &nbspA strange hodgepodge of idols, lush greenery and colorful drinks, Tiki beckoned men and women to lose themselves in exotic music and surf tunes. Take a trip back in time to the scene of Polynesian pop and three decades of palm trees, Mai Tais, and torches with this informal guide to the rise, fall, and resurgence of Tiki culture.
