  • Literature Thesis Proposal
    1 “Let the Islands be populated with Americans”: Mark Twain’s Hawaiian Travel-Burlesque and U.S. Imperialism In his letters commissioned by the Sacramento Union in 1866, Mark Twain encouraged Americans and specifically American businessmen to migrate to the Hawaiian Islands. These letters are the first instance of Twain’s travel writing, and they simultaneously advance and criticize the U.S. expansionist practices and ideology of the nineteenth century. Scholarship exploring Mark Twain and U.S. imperialism runs a wide spectrum from an avoidance of the subject to a critical analysis of even his earliest writings. For example, while Malcolm Jones in “Our Mysterious Stranger,” mentions that Twain’s Following the Equator is a “jeremiad against colonialism fitfully disguised as a lighthearted travel book,” he fails to make the distinction that it is not just abstract colonialism or European colonialism, but U.S. expansion that Twain criticizes as well. Other times, Twain seems to be reductively known for his humor as entertainment, but not for the complex engagement with national issues that this use of humor often reveals. Conversely, Twain scholars often recognize that his work is anti-imperial, but usually the texts discussed are those later works criticizing the U.S. involvement in the Philippines or Twain’s rejection of European colonialism in Africa. Scholars often point to these obviously anti-imperial texts as the only evidence of Twain’s engagement with the discourse of U.S. imperialism. However, John Carlos Rowe argues that Twain’s anti-imperialist work appears not only in his later travel books, but in the novel A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.

  • How Tourism Began in Hawaii
    Creating “Paradise of the Pacific”: How Tourism Began in Hawaii by James Mak Working Paper No. 2015-1 February 3, 2015 UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MANOA 2424 MAILE WAY, ROOM 540 • HONOLULU, HAWAI‘I 96822 WWW.UHERO.HAWAII.EDU WORKING PAPERS ARE PRELIMINARY MATERIALS CIRCULATED TO STIMULATE DISCUSSION AND CRITICAL COMMENT. THE VIEWS EXPRESSED ARE THOSE OF THE INDIVIDUAL AUTHORS. Creating “Paradise of the Pacific”: How Tourism Began in Hawaii James Mak Professor Emeritus of Economics and Fellow, University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization University of Hawaii at Manoa Honolulu, HI. 96822 U.S.A. February 3, 2015 Abstract This article recounts the early years of one of the most successful tourist destinations in the world, Hawaii, from about 1870 to 1940. Tourism began in Hawaii when faster and more predictable steamships replaced sailing vessels in trans-Pacific travel. Governments (international, national, and local) were influential in shaping the way Hawaii tourism developed, from government mail subsidies to steamship companies, local funding for tourism promotion, and America’s protective legislation on domestic shipping. Hawaii also reaped a windfall from its location at the crossroads of the major trade routes in the Pacific region. The article concludes with policy lessons. Key words: Hawaii, tourism, tourism development Acknowledgement: I thank Dore Minatodani, Senior Librarian, Hawaiian Collection at the University of Hawaii-Manoa Library, for her kind assistance. 1 Introduction Hawaii is a dream vacation destination for millions of people around the world. U.S. News and World Report rates Maui the best vacation destination in the U.S.1 Maui is also rated fourth best place to visit in the world, the second best place to honeymoon, and the best summer vacation destination.2 Kauai is second in the world in having the best beaches; Honolulu is number five in best family vacations; and the island of Hawaii (Big Island) is fourteenth in the best islands category.

Introduction Beyond his stature as a novelist, Mark Twain (1835-1910) has justly­ deserved fame for his humorous travel writings. Twain produced these writings in the mid-nineteenth century cultural context of what has been termed the "touristic age" in the United States, a time when travel writing 1 enjoyed tremendous popularity.< ) During this period, Edgar Allan Poe's A Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket (1838), Herman Melville's Typee (1846) and Richard Henry Dana's Two Years Before the Mast (1840)-many of pseudo-nonfiction adventure stories based on their authors' experiences-appealed to contemporary readers' curiosity of about exotic, unseen places such as Polynesia, the South Pacific, and fan­ tastic alternative realities.

  • Mark Twain's Letters from Hawaii and the Integration of Civil Society
    Presidential Reconstructions: Mark Twain's Letters from Hawaii and the Integration of Civil Society Brian Collins During the winter of 1866, Californians celebrated an important develop­ ment—a steamer was now running to Hawaii. What had once been a long trip over rough seas was now "a mere pleasure excursion."1 At last the "sick and valetudinarian" would be able to take advantage of the islands' salubrious breezes.2 It was also noted that Americans were "two thousand miles nearer to [Asia,] whose commerce is the richest prize for which the nations contend."3 Through the Golden Gate, the outlines of a new, American empire were coming into view, and Californians believed they were to preside over it. The question was purely rhetorical when the influential Sacramento Union asked: With the Pacific Railroad creeping slowly but surely toward [California] over mountain and desert and preparing to link her with the East, and with the China mail steamers about to throw open to her the vast trade of our opulent coast line from the Amoor [Amur] River to the equator, what State in the Union has so splendid a future [as this]? Not one, perhaps. She should awake and be ready to join her home prosperity to these tides of commerce that are soon to sweep toward her from the east and the west. To America it has been vouchsafed to materialize the vision, and realize the dream of centuries .... We have found the true Northwest passage—we have found the true and 0026-3079/96/3701 -051$ 1.50/0 51 only direct route to the bursting coffers of "Ormus and of Ind"—to the enchanted land whose mere drippings, in ages that are gone, enriched ancient Venice, first, then Portugal, Holland, and in our own time, England—and each in succes­ sion they longed and sought for the fountain head of the vast Oriental wealth, and sought in vain..

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910) was reared in the frontier town of Hannibal, Missouri, with its backwoods fundamental beliefs, and he was never completely able to break the tie that bound him to those beliefs. During his seventy-five years he searched for the meaning of life first taught him in the fundamentalist Calvinistic doctrines, only to complete the circle and end his life in a. determinism that echoed those early teachings. This thesis intends to point out the religious thoughts that Clemens encountered. It will present the various religious groups with which he dealt the most and the clergymen with whom he associated both casually and intimately.

  • Mark Twain's Racial Ideologies and His Portrayal of the Chinese
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 36.2 Sept. 2010: 33-59 Mark Twain’s Racial Ideologies and His Portrayal of the Chinese Hsin-yun Ou Department of Western Languages and Literature National University of Kaohsiung, Taiwan Abstract Although Mark Twain’s depictions of the Chinese are not always free from contemporary racial stereotypes, they are more sympathetic than what was typically portrayed in the popular media. In “Disgraceful Persecution of a Boy,” Twain unfolds his antipathy towards the discriminatory treatment the Chinese suffered. In “John Chinaman in New York,” the narrator pities the “friendless Mongol,” but finally finds himself only able to understand the Chinese as superficial stereotypes. In “Goldsmith’s Friend Abroad Again,” through the narrator’s initial ironical statements and later sufferings and disillusionment, Twain satirizes American racist attitudes against the Chinese. In Roughing It, Twain characterizes the Chinese with depth and humanity; despite ill treatment from lower-class whites, the Chinese in the portrait Twain paints are hard-working, patient, and benevolent to American society. Ah Sin vindicates the Chinese by presenting a Chinese laundryman who outsmarts most of the white characters. Twain’s anti-racism fueled his powerful anti-imperial writings later in his life, in which his humanitarian sentiments and sense of moral righteousness became more prominent in expressing sympathy for oppressed groups, including the Chinese, and insisting on racial tolerance. As such, when Twain observed the Chinese, he was in fact examining the American character in comparison with his ideal vision of the U.S. as a nation that represented the forces of social justice and liberalism.
