<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A detailed study, rich with insights.-- "<i>Choice</i>"<br><br>Groundbreaking.-- "<i>The Historian</i>"<br><br>I highly recommend this even-handed yet passionate call for understanding and change.-- "<i>Honolulu Weekly</i>"<br><br>Indispensable.-- "<i>The Nation</i>"<br><br>Profound scholarship that examines neglected sources and adds a new dimension to our understanding of the Hawaiian past.-- "<i>The Contemporary Pacific</i>"<br>
