The book shows that Hawai'i's admission as a U.S. State was neither the expansion of U.S. Democracy nor a strong nation swallowing a weak and feeble island nation, but the result of a U.S. nation whose economy was unsustainable without enacting a more aggressive policy of imperialism. This talk provides a more complicated understanding of Hawai'i's admission as the fiftieth state and why Native Hawaiian place-based alternatives to U.S. empire are urgently needed.
This talk will be part of a Spring Series sponsored by the Remsen Bird Pre-Law Funds.
