Allison, I am certain you are including the groundbreaking research of Jeff Berry and Annene Kaye in your thesis, published in Beachbum Berry's TABOO TABLE ? Just like the Bum's other tomes, it is standard reading among TCers. While James Lileks' books are hilariously funny (topped by his laugh-out-loud "Interior Desecrations"), the Bum actually went into the history of this perhaps not-so-memorable facet of Polynesian pop.
