N1  - A Ahmanson Foundation book in the humanities--Jacket flap; Includes bibliographical references (p. 269-290) and index
N2  - This quirky, brilliant book gives the reader the thrill of cultural history done well. Okihiro undertakes a conventional topic in a jarring way, avoiding the assumption of set boundaries of nations and human societies.--Henry Yu, author of "Thinking Orientals: Migration, Contact, and Exoticism in Modern America" "This beautifully written book integrates the history of Hawai'i into that of the U.S. better than any other I have ever read." --Patricia Seed, author of "American Pentimento: The Invention of Indians and the Pursuit of Riches" www.alibris.com
