KANAKA

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 647 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KANAKA , a Polynesian word meaning " man," used by Polynesians to describe themselves. Its ethnical value, never
great
 , has been entirely destroyed by. its indiscriminate use by the
French
  to describe all
South
  Sea islanders, whether black or
brown
 . The corrupt
French
  form canaque has been used by some
English
  writers. The
term
  came into prominence in 18841885 in connexion with the scandals arising over the kidnap-ping of
South
  Sea islanders for enforced labour on the
sugar
  plantations of north
Queensland
 .
