Okihiro gives the history of Hawaii and the United States a lucid retelling -- he focuses on the island's impact on the country, rather than the reverse. He begins with early travel accounts but moves on to reveal Hawaiians fighting in the Civil War, sailing on nineteenth-century New England ships, and living in pre-gold rush California in a series of intriguing biographical sketches.
