* Aloha Betrayed: Native Hawaiian Resistance to American
Colonialism
(Book - Amazon.com) :
With few exceptions, histories of Hawai'i have been based
exclusively on English-language sources. They have not
taken into account the thousands of pages of newspapers,
books, and letters written in the mother tongue of native
Hawaiians. By rigorously analyzing many of these
documents, Silva fills a crucial gap in the historical
record. In so doing, she refutes the long-held idea that
native Hawaiians passively accepted the erosion of their
culture and loss of their nation.
Also available from Amazon.co.uk (United Kingdom) and
