LOOKING FOR A DYNAMITE READ ?

DISMEMBERING LAHUI by Jonathan K.K. Osorio


This book, published by University of Hawai'i Press, tells the gripping story of the independent nation of Hawai'i's gradual loss of political control despite the often heroic efforts by its people to retain it.

But more importantly, it is the first book written by a Native Hawaiian to explore fully the complexities of Hawaiian nationhood and identity in a historical context.

A gripping read !
