Download or read book The Legacies of a Hawaiian Generation written by Judith Schachter and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the voices and perspectives of the members of an extended Hawaiian family, or `ohana, this book tells the story of North American imperialism in Hawai`i from the Great Depression to the new millennium. The family members offer their versions of being “Native Hawaiian” in an American state, detailing the ways in which US laws, policies, and institutions made, and continue to make, an impact on their daily lives. The book traces the ways that Hawaiian values adapted to changing conditions under a Territorial regime and then after statehood. These conditions involved claims for land for Native Hawaiian Homesteads, education in American public schools, military service, and participation in the Hawaiian cultural renaissance. Based on fieldwork observations, kitchen table conversations, and talk-stories, or mo`olelo, this book is a unique blend of biography, history, and anthropological analysis.

Download or read book Waikiki, 100 B.C. to 1900 A.D. written by George S. Kanahele and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waikiki has always been a special place to the people of Hawai'i, but in recent years its mana, or spirit, has been lost--or more correctly--forgotten. The restoration of mana, requires looking back to the history of the community. To this end, George Kanahele, one of Hawai'i's most distinguished historians, has written the first comprehensive history of Waikiki. Dr. Kanahele describes the prehistoric origins of Waikiki and its cultural, economic, and political evolution. Once an important center of Hawaiian civilization, Waikiki collapsed in the wake of Westernization long before it became a popular tourist destination. Kanahele weaves an intricate and fascinating story using myths and legends, archaological and other scientific findings, and the works of Hawaiian historians and scholars. Waikiki 100 B.C. to 1900 A.D. will give readers a new sense of place and appreciation for Waikiki.

Download or read book THE SHADOW OF SACRIFICE written by Donald D. Deignan and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2016-10-24 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 18, 1942, barely one hundred days after Japan’s devastating “surprise attack” on the United States Navy’s Pacific Fleet based at Pearl Harbor, a group of American soldiers were guarding a beach on the north shore of the Hawaiian island of Oahu against an expected Japanese amphibious invasion. The atmosphere was tense. Suddenly, a gunshot shattered the almost perfect silence of that tropical night. In its aftermath, one young American soldier lay dead not far from the beach he was guarding. But who was he? And what were the circumstances which had led to his tragic death? The Shadow of Sacrifice answers these questions and, in the process, tells the compelling and poignant story of the way in which that single gunshot has echoed down through the generations of one typical American family. Here is a mystery, a tragedy, a kind of love-story, a tale of survival and transformation, and the unfolding record of promises made and kept. The young American soldier who died mysteriously on that Hawaiian beach in 1942 was my beloved uncle, Private First Class Donald Joseph John Deignan, for whom I was proudly named. Our lives have always been closely and positively connected. Here, just in time for the 75th Anniversary of the Pearl Harbor Attack, is a thorough examination of the unbreakable and mutually beneficial bonds of love and loyalty which still unite us today. Veterans and their families, Baby-boomers, immigrants and people with disabilities will all find themselves reflected in our particular story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brief History of the Hawaiian People At the request of the Board of Education, I have endeavored to write a simple and concise history of the Hawaiian people, which, it is hoped, may be useful to the teachers and higher classes in our schools. As there is, however, no book in existence that covers the whole ground, and as the earlier histories are entirely out of print, it has been deemed best to prepare not merely a school-book, but a history for the benefit of the general public. This book has been written in the intervals of a laborious occupation, from the stand-point of a patriotic Hawaiian, for the young people of this country rather than for foreign readers. This fact will account for its local coloring, and for the prominence given to certain topics of local interest. Especial pains have been taken to supply the want of a correct account of the ancient civil polity and religion of the Hawaiian race. This history is not merely a compilation. It is based upon a careful study of the original authorities, the writer having had the use of the principal existing collections of Hawaiian manuscripts, and having examined the early archives of the government, as well as nearly all the existing materials in print.

Download or read book How to Demolish Racism written by Michael Haas and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes racist rule in Hawai’i during the first half of the twentieth century and how statehood made possible a fundamental transformation. Based on a multicultural ethos, top political power shifted from Whites to Japanese and later to other racial groups. Racism was eliminated in the economy, environmental policies were modified, government operations became more multicultural, and the desires of Native Hawaiians to recover what had been lost from the days of the Kingdom of Hawai‛i were placed on legal and political agendas. Even before statehood, Hawai‛i’s example of school integration gave birth to the movement resulting in Brown v Board of Education. Afterward, the Aloha State was the first to adopt many reforms: unrestricted abortion, universal health care insurance, an Equal Rights Amendment, a State Ombudsman, neighborhood boards, classifying Whites as a “minority” in affirmative action, banning strip searches of females, and dozens of other innovative reforms that have been adopted elsewhere. Hawai‛i remains the only state that is officially bilingual, has required mediation before foreclosures, celebrates an Islam Day, prohibits discrimination based on credit history and breastfeeding, bans smoking until the age of 21, disallows plastic bags, has declared an end to the use of fossil fuels by 2045, and has adopted many other measures that lead the world. This book explains how developments in the Aloha State, which have provided leadership to the United States, may be copied elsewhere, primarily based on the technique of reverse cultural engineering, which is the unrecognized basis for legal systems around the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seventh Annual Report of the Hawaiian Historical Society, 1900: With a Paper on the Partition of Samoa, and the Past Relations Between That Group and the United States Recent relations of Hawaii with Samoa, and other Pacific Groups. But the rapidly following and startling events in Samoa, the abrogation of the Berlin Act, and the partition of that Group, as well as the Union of Hawaii with the United States warrant, I feel, the subordination of the originally chosen topic to a larger one. W'ithout omitting Hawaii's relations with Samoa, therefore, I invite you tonight to a consideration of the extinction of this last surviving sovereignty in the Pacific, of the value to the United States of our rights under the new arrangement, and of the varied, the dramatic and unparalleled relations of Samoa with that country of which Hawaii is happily at last a part.

Download or read book Racial Harmony Is Achievable written by Michael Haas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racial and social relations can become harmonious and serene in every country of the world. Racism can be eliminated. The Kingdom of Hawaiʽi during the nineteenth century reveals a history of responsive politicians, economic progress, environmental preservation, and serene race relations because of a cultural lifestyle that can be emulated. But not everything was rosy. Severe challenges emerged after the discovery of the Islands in 1778. The leaders and the people responded to various intrusions in an exemplary manner, while the same problems have provoked endless conflict and social disintegration that plague the world today. Using analytical methods, this book recounts how the people of the Islands overcame civil wars, decimating diseases, ecosystem despoliation, religious conflicts, the uprooting of feudalism, worker exploitation, imperialist threats, coups, and a massive influx of new residents who quickly became acculturated. But the Kingdom of Hawaiʽi ended because of a flagrant violation of international law that calls out to be reversed. The world needs to know how a society of Caucasians, Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans, Native Hawaiians, and others worked together to solve problems that seem intractable elsewhere. Until the secret is revealed, the world seems doomed to constant turbulence. Presenting a plan for social transformation, this book will be of key interest in the fields of political science, public affairs, sociology, and Hawaiian studies.

I., 1896 This was done, whereupon the shark-god manifested himself through a halca, and expressed his grief at the action of his way ward son. He told them that the grandfather was to blame for feeding him on animal flesh contrary to his orders, and if it were not for that extenuating circumstance, he would order him to be killed by his own shark officers, but as it was, he would require of him that he should disappear forever from the shores of Hawaii. Should Nanane disregard that order and be seen by any of his fathers' shark soldiers, he was to be instantly killed. Then the shark-god, who it seems retained an affection for his human wife, exacted a promise that she and her relatives were to be forever free from any persecutions on account of her unnatural son, on pain of the return and freedom from the tabu of said son.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beneath Hawaiian Palms and Stars It the purpose of my stay became known at all it was to a few of: my personal friends only, who pitied me, but kept their own counsel. Besides, none would have cared whether I wrote up on politics or polypi; for to tell the truth, the people of Hawaii are tired of writers. I am glad to be able to say this after all the reports about the government Officials, and the missionary families, which are accused of enter taining authors of intended books, in order to state one side of the question to them. The effort to put me in touch with island matters, has come from those inclined to Restoration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
