加州提基：波利尼西亚偶像、菠萝鸡尾酒和椰子树的历史

第二次世界大战后，随着归来的士兵用制服换西装，加州城市周围的郊区激增。下班后的休闲活动以岛屿为主题，从波利尼西亚和夏威夷的新魅力中迸发出来。在马里布和伯班克拍摄的电影和电视节目敦促观众用吉吉特和夏威夷眼等逃避日常生活。像“海滩上的康博人堂”（Don the Beachcomber）和“交易者维克”（Trader Vic’s）这样的餐厅应运而生，以满足人们对狂野鸡尾酒甚至更狂野装饰的需求。这种文化——一个由偶像、火炬、郁郁葱葱的绿色植物和五颜六色的饮料组成的奇怪大杂烩——吸引着男人和女人们沉浸在异国情调的音乐和冲浪曲调中。作家杰森·亨德森和亚当·福什科探索了该州在本世纪中叶对所有Tiki事物的迷恋。
