The Legacies of a Hawaiian Generation

From Territorial Subject to American Citizen

Beschreibung

A perspective on North American imperialism derived from three generations of Native Hawaiians who have been subject to imperial policies. The combination of anthropological fieldwork, archival resources, and "kitchen table" conversations gives the book a unique quality. Provides insight into US relations with the Pacific Rim, an increasingly important factor in today's world. An intersection of interpretations-from legal cases to individual memories-reveals the entanglement that influences broader political shifts.
