Description: From the author of Lafayette in the Somewhat United States comes an examination of , the place where got a sunburn.Of all the countries the United States invaded or colonized in 1898, Sarah Vowell considers the story of the Americanization of Hawaii to be the most intriguing. From the arrival of the New England missionaries in 1820, who came to Christianize the local heathens, to the coup détat led by the missionaries sons in 1893, overthrowing the Hawaiian queen, the events leading up to American annexation feature a cast of beguiling, if often appalling or tragic, characters. Whalers who fire cannons at the Bible-thumpers denying them their god-given right to whores; an incestuous princess pulled between her new god and her brother-husband; sugar barons, con men, Theodore Roosevelt, and the last Hawaiian queen, a songwriter whose sentimental ode Aloha Oe serenaded the first Hawaiian-born president of the United States during his 2009 inaugural parade.With her trademark wry insights and reporting, Vowell sets out to discover the odd, emblematic, and exceptional history of the fiftieth state. In examining the place where Manifest Destiny got a sunburn, she finds America again, warts and all.

In her wry, anecdotal musings on how modern Hawaii was shaped, Sarah Vowell manages to do a better job of examining post-European contact Hawaii than more scholarly books, She is deservedly hard on both missionaries, plantation owners and the Hawaiian alii, but also has a good sense of the travails of each group on the islands. I am a part-time resident of Hawaii and have read stacks of books on the ; most are a combination of boring and biased. Ms. Vowells treatment is pretty evenhanded. She combines whimsy with facts in a very readable/ listenable format. This is an excellent brief book for a visitor to Hawaii; it is also a great choice to plug into the CD player in your rental car.My only complaint - she never does explain the omnipresent macaroni salad.
