In 1897, as a white oligarchy made plans to allow the United States to annex Hawai'i, native Hawaiians organized a massive petition drive to protest. Ninety-five percent of the native population signed the petition, causing the annexation treaty to fail in the U.S. Senate. This event was unknown to many contemporary Hawaiians until Noenoe K. Silva rediscovered the petition in the process of researching this book. With few exceptions, histories of Hawai'i have been based exclusively on English-language sources. They have not taken into account the thousands of pages of newspapers, books, and letters written in the mother tongue of native Hawaiians. By rigorously analyzing many of these documents, Silva fills a crucial gap in the historical record. In so doing, she refutes the long-held idea that native Hawaiians passively accepted the erosion of their culture and loss of their nation, showing that they actively resisted political, economic, linguistic, and cultural domination. Drawing on Hawaiian-language texts, primarily newspapers produced in the nineteenth century and early twentieth, Silva demonstrates that print media was central to social communication, political organizing, and the perpetuation of Hawaiian language and culture. A powerful critique of colonial historiography, Aloha Betrayed provides a much-needed history of native Hawaiian resistance to American imperialism.

Aloha Betrayed

a j o h n h o p e f ra n k l i n c e n t e r b o o k

ameri can encounters / global i nteracti ons

A series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg

This series aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh interpretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global presence of the United States. Its primary concerns include the deployment and contestation of power, the construction and deconstruction of cultural and political borders, the ﬂuid meanings of intercultural encounters, and the complex interplay between the global and the local. Amer-ican Encounters seeks to strengthen dialogue and collabora-tion between historians of U.S. international relations and area studies specialists. The series encourages scholarship based on multiarchival historical research. At the same time, it supports a recognition of the representational character of all stories about the past and promotes critical inquiry into issues of subjectivity and narrative. In the process, American Encounters strives to un-derstand the context in which meanings related to nations, cultures, and political economy are continually produced, challenged, and reshaped.

Acknowledgments

I am grateful to all of the many spirits, minds, and hands that have contributed to this work. Among them are Deane Neubauer, chair of my dissertation committee, who helped to shape the original project. Jorge Fernandes and Jonathan Goldberg-Hiller read and commented on countless drafts. Sankaran Krishna, Anne Keala Kelly, Gabrielle Wel-ford, Esther Figueroa, and Michael J. Shapiro also read drafts and pro-vided many valuable suggestions. I thank Sally Engle Merry for careful reading and excellent advice. The late, dearly missed Jim Bartels gener-ously shared his knowledge, especially of Queen Lili¿uokalani, based on his many years of dedicated research. Reshela DuPuis and Amy Ku¿u-leialoha Stillman were similarly generous with their time and research. Albert J. Schütz read and proofread the entire manuscript, improving many sentences (all remaining errors are entirely my own). I beneﬁted greatly from discussions with Kekeha Solis, Sam L. No¿eau Warner, KaleikoaK¯a¿eo, Kerry Laiana Wong, Phyllis Turnbull, Lynette Cruz, David Keanu Sai, Kekuni Blaisdell, Lia O’Neill Keawe, ku¿ualoha ho¿J,iunawanamoeLuhrua,aLnaiuKaulaniehau.K¯a¯laLm,ikilananYiiKame¿eleihiwa, Meleanna Meyer, Annette Ipo Wong, Houston Wood, Jonathan Kamakawiwo¿sOeoirolokawienTTy,¯aKaKyan-iHuaag,n Trask,TomCo√man,Na¯laniMinton,KathyFerguson,NealMilner, Nevzat Soguk, J.
