Book excerpt: In October 1819, two New England ships, Balaena and Equator, cruising off the coast of Hawai'i's Kealakekua Bay, harpooned and killed a whale. They were the first American whalers to do so in Hawaiian waters, but they were certainly not to be the last. And it was only the beginning.That same year brought New England missionaries on the brig Thaddeus. Their destinies converged with the whalers in shaping Hawai'i's future.This was an era when whaler lawlessness and missionary law clashed again and again, racking the land with violence and causing Hawai'i's king many a weary and many a worried hour. No storyteller could have invented a drama with more conflict than the one played in Hawai'i during her wild, whaling days.Riots, burnings, shootings¿sailors armed with pistol, club and knife, threatening missionaries and native Hawaiians alike. Ships firing cannon on missionary homes. Police trying in vain to quell riots. Seamen demanding island girls like so much merchandise-and willing to pay the price. Gambling, drunkenness, theft, venereal disease¿It was all a part of the colorful whaling history of Hawai'i.

Download or read book West of Then written by Tara Bray Smith and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzling, devastating memoir about one woman's search for her wayward mother, whose past is inextricably linked with the bittersweet history of their home, Hawaii. At the center of West of Then is Karen Morgan—island flower, fifth generation haole (white) Hawaiian, Mayflower descendant—now living on the streets of downtown Honolulu. Despite her recklessness, Karen inspires fierce loyalty and love in her three daughters. When she goes missing in the spring of 2002, Tara, the eldest, sets out to find and hopefully save her mother. Her journey explores what you give up when you try to renounce your past, whether personal, familial, or historical, and what you gain when you confront it. A tender story that lays bare the anguish, candor, and humor of growing up a half-step off the beat, West of Then is a striking literary debut from a perceptive and original writer. By turns tough and touching, Smith's modern detective story unravels the rich history of the fiftieth state and the realities of contemporary Hawaii—its sizable homeless population, its drug subculture—as well as its generous, diverse humanity and astonishing beauty. In this land of so many ghosts, the author's search for her mother becomes a reckoning with herself, her family, and with the meaning of home.

Book excerpt: Although its soils are the youngest in the Hawaiian chain, the Big Island's chronicles are at times epic, tragic, and heroic, but always fascinating. Modern Hawai'i is filled with tradition and mythology, accommodating influences as diverse as its inviting landscape. Kamehameha stood tall to mold this nascent region into a unified kingdom and others fought to sustain it, while outside forces molded and shaped this island in astonishing ways.

Download or read book Queen Kaʻahumanu of Hawaii written by Thomas W. Goodhue and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-04-20 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: King Kamehameha the Great had 30 wives. Ka'ahumanu (c.1768-1832) was his favorite. Descended from Oceanian voyagers, she grew up in a society completely isolated from the rest of the world, her life enmeshed in dynastic wars and constrained by an elaborate system of taboos. In 1778, she was shocked by the arrival of alien ships, followed by an influx of foreigners. In their wake came devastating epidemics. Seizing power after the King's death, Ka'ahumanu overturned those taboos and guided her nation through revolutionary change, crucial to the Hawaiian Islands' unification. Through sicknesses, romances, infidelities, murders, rebellions, pardons, travels, missionary work, and more, her story challenges many beliefs about American history, Christianity, and gender. Further, it has implications for current debates about immigration, sexuality, and religious diversity. Drawing on seldom-analyzed French and Russian sources, this biography covers neglected aspects of Ka'ahumanu's life. The many spouses and lovers she and Kamehameha had, the roles played by Central Europeans, African-Americans, Catholics and Unitarians in her realm, and struggles with religious pluralism are all included.
