A joy to read for someone interested in the history (and the present and future) of Hawaii. It has the best Preface and final chapter of any book I've read - moving, honest, challenging. As the first book of Hawaiian history I have read that is written from the point of view of the Native person it comes as a welcome change. Quite apart from all this it is well written. I yearn for more in the same vein. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Jonathan Osorio investigates the effects of Western law on the national identity of Native Hawaiians in this impressive political history of the Kingdom of Hawaii from the onset of constitutional government in 1840 to the Bayonet Constitution of 1887, which effectively placed political power in the kingdom in the hands of white businessmen. Making extensive use of legislative texts, contemporary newspapers, and important works by Hawaiian historians and others, Osorio plots the course of events that transformed Hawaii from a traditional subsistence economy to a modern nation, taking into account the many individuals nearly forgotten by history who wrestled with each new political and social change. A final poignant chapter links past events with the struggle for Hawaiian sovereignty today. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
