Jerry of the Islands

Published in 1917, Jerry of the Islands was a late addition to London's portfolio and was most likely written during his final sojourn in Hawaii. The plot reads like a transfer of Buck from Call of the Wild over to the South Sea Islands. Jerry, the eponymous hero, is actually a dog through which London examines racism and colonialism. The book is let down in the modern setting by its racist language, but remove that and you have a typically bright Jack London adventure.
