Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1897, as a white oligarchy made plans to allow the United States to annex Hawai'i, native Hawaiians organized a massive petition drive to protest. Ninety-five percent of the native population signed the petition, causing the annexation treaty to fail in the U.S. Senate. This event was unknown to many contemporary Hawaiians until Noenoe K. Silva rediscovered the petition in the process of researching this book. With few exceptions, histories of Hawai'i have been based exclusively on English-language sources. They have not taken into account the thousands of pages of newspapers, books, and letters written in the mother tongue of native Hawaiians. By rigorously analyzing many of these documents, Silva fills a crucial gap in the historical record. In so doing, she refutes the long-held idea that native Hawaiians passively accepted the erosion of their culture and loss of their nation, showing that they actively resisted political, economic, linguistic, and cultural domination. Drawing on Hawaiian-language texts, primarily newspapers produced in the nineteenth century and early twentieth, Silva demonstrates that print media was central to social communication, political organizing, and the perpetuation of Hawaiian language and culture. A powerful critique of colonial historiography, Aloha Betrayed provides a much-needed history of native Hawaiian resistance to American imperialism.

Download or read book Last Among Equals written by Roger Bell and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2019-03-31 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Last Among Equals is the first detailed account of Hawaii's quest for statehood. It is a story of struggle and accommodation, of how Hawaii was gradually absorbed into the politcal, economic, and ideological structures of American life. It also recounts the complex process that came into play when the states of the Union were confronted with the difficulty of granting admission to a non-contiguous territory with an overwhelmingly non-Caucasian population. More than any previous study of modern Hawaii, this book explains why Hawaii's legitimate claims to equality and autonomy as a state were frustrated for more than half a century. Last Among Equals is sure to remain a standard reference for modern Hawaiian and American political historians. As important, it will require a reevaluation of two commonly held myths: that of racial harmony in Hawaii and that of automatic equality under the Constitution of the United States.

Download or read book Nation Within written by Tom Coffman and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1893 a small group of white planters and missionary descendants backed by the United States overthrew the Kingdom of Hawai‘i and established a government modeled on the Jim Crow South. In Nation Within Tom Coffman tells the complex history of the unsuccessful efforts of deposed Hawaiian queen Lili‘uokalani and her subjects to resist annexation, which eventually came in 1898. Coffman describes native Hawaiian political activism, the queen's visits to Washington, D.C., to lobby for independence, and her imprisonment, along with hundreds of others, after their aborted armed insurrection. Exposing the myths that fueled the narrative that native Hawaiians willingly relinquished their nation, Coffman shows how Americans such as Theodore Roosevelt conspired to extinguish Hawai‘i's sovereignty in the service of expanding the United States' growing empire.

Book excerpt: In 1897-98, the Hui Hawai'i Aloha '?ina mounted a massive political drive, collecting more than 21,000 signatures for the Palapala Hoopii Kue Hoohuiaina, a petition against the annexation of the Kingdom of Hawai'i by the United States. Submitted to the U.S. Congress, the K?'? Petitions (as they are now commonly known) were successful in defeating the treaty of annexation. They fell into obscurity before re-entering the consciousness of the l?hui in 1998, when scholar Noenoe K. Silva found them at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.Today, the K?'? Petitions are as important to the l?hui as when they were originally signed. K?'? Petitions: A Mau Loa Aku N? features all of the petitions in brilliant full-color; compelling essays by Kanaka Maoli authors Jonathan Kay Kamakawiwo'ole Osorio, Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio, N?lani Minton, and Noenoe K. Silva; and a location-based index to help readers look up their ancestors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Against the Annexation of the Hawaiian Islands: Speech of Hon. John L. Mitchell, of Wisconsin, in the Senate of the United States, Tuesday, June 21, 1898 Annexation might help Hawaii itself. But our duty requires us to look at this question from a purely selfish standpoint. Unless this measure is clearly to the advantage of the United States, we must cast it out. While annexation ought not to be permitted without a full and free expression on the part of the Hawaiians, still it is not mate rial whether the Hawaiian population, in mass or in any prepor tion, desire annexation or not. It is for them to show a clean bill of political health as a condition precedent to admission. The men in the bowels of the wooden horse were anxious to enter Troy, but they proved undesirable citizens after they were let in. Are we bound to admit to our domestic circle every wanderer who raps at our door? Before we enter into a business partner ship we scrutinize. Before entering into a political partnership we should be more careful still. For the bonds are more difficult to dissolve. We owe the Hawaiians much. In times past they have sent us bananas and we have returned them fleas and gunpowder. They have sent us pineapples and we have returned them muskets, mosquitoes, and the measles. There is an uncomfortable balance against us, but to demand annexation to square accounts is ask ing too much.
