This work has the ability to influence how we think about historical moments of encounter more broadly, and it is an important corrective to the tendency to read history backward to find the roots of domination, exaggerating the power of Euro-American actors and downplaying the authority of indigenous Governance.\" * \u003ci\u003eAmerican Historical Review\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"[This book] throw[s] a refreshing light on the complex and controversial history of Hawaiʻi...[A] stimulating read and certainly worth adding to anyone’s library on Hawaiʻi.\" * Journal of New Zealand and Pacific Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\"Drawing on rich archives of printed materials in the Hawaiian language, Noelani Arista's \u003ci\u003eThe Kingdom and the Republic\u003c\/i\u003e offers an incisive historical account of the misunderstandings and misreadings that shaped relations between native Hawaiians and European and American merchants and missionaries.

Noelani Arista transforms the way we understand Hawaiʻi in the crucial decades between 1820 and 1840. She upends a simplistic colonial historiography that makes American missionaries the dominant forces in the period. Arista reveals instead a more complex and surprising story that speaks powerfully to questions of law, culture, language, and power in history.\" * David Chang, University of Minnesota *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction.
