Sinossi

Hawaii Kingdom explores the dramatic story of how the Kingdom of Hawaii, a culturally rich and independent nation, was annexed by the United States. This pivotal moment in world history was influenced by a complex interplay of political, economic, and social factors, including the growing influence of American businessmen and expansionist ambitions. The book argues that annexation was not inevitable but rather a calculated act driven by external forces.

 
The book chronicles the reigns of Hawaiian monarchs, from Kamehameha I, who unified the islands, to Queen Liliʻuokalani, the last sovereign ruler. It carefully analyzes the impact of European and American influence, particularly through missionary activity and the sugar industry, which dramatically reshaped Hawaiian society and set the stage for annexation.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, from ancient Hawaiian society to the overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani in 1893 and the subsequent annexation by the United States in 1898, concluding with an exploration of the lasting impact on Hawaiian culture and identity.

 
Through a range of primary and secondary sources, Hawaii Kingdom provides a nuanced perspective on the Kingdom of Hawaii, avoiding simplistic narratives. It emphasizes the agency of Hawaiian leaders while acknowledging the overwhelming force of American expansionism. The book presents the historical evidence and competing perspectives, allowing readers to understand the long-term consequences of imperialism and the ongoing struggle for Hawaiian sovereignty and indigenous rights.

    From the news media to politicians. From social media to the movies. From the pulpit to the playground. Hatred is engineered, sold and spread. It is used as a tool to control and manipulate the masses. It has been this way for a very long time. 
     
    It is in fact a natural part of being human and grows from that basic universal and instinctual inner element of fear. This fear is natural. All animals have it. It helps us and them to spot threats to our lives and way of life. But this fear is being used by very clever leaders in government, media, religion and business. These four elements are in fact all connected at many levels. 
     
    This fear causes hatred and that hatred is used to garner votes, sales and members. The threats created by those in power manipulate our thoughts and beliefs and cause us to hate other countries, races and everything else you can imagine. We take sides because we are conditioned to do so. 
     
    There is a route out of this hatred and it is as old as man. It is an ancient wisdom seldom spoken of in the media and yet it is greatly needed in our divided world. 
     
    It is time to end hatred.

    In the Skin of a Beast -...

    In medieval literature, when humans and animals meet—whether as friends or foes—issues of mastery and submission are often at stake. In the Skin of a Beast shows how the concept of sovereignty comes to the fore in such narratives, reflecting larger concerns about relations of authority and dominion at play in both human-animal and human-human interactions. Peggy McCracken discusses a range of literary texts and images from medieval France, including romances in which animal skins appear in symbolic displays of power, fictional explorations of the wolf’s desire for human domestication, and tales of women and snakes converging in a representation of territorial claims and noble status. These works reveal that the qualities traditionally used to define sovereignty—lineage and gender among them—are in fact mobile and contingent. In medieval literary texts, as McCracken demonstrates, human dominion over animals is a disputed model for sovereign relations among people: it justifies exploitation even as it mandates protection and care, and it depends on reiterations of human-animal difference that paradoxically expose the tenuous nature of human exceptionalism.
