This book has brought thousands to support Hawaiian Sovereignty. It gave the movement a calmly reasoned argument, detailing facts that cried for justice. Now in its eleventh year, it is recognized as "the Handbook on Hawaiian Sovereignty."
In the hundred years after the American overthrow of the monarchy, generations learned a history revised to make the conqueror right and good. This is the first book to tell Hawaiian history from the Hawaiian point of view. It also discusses the present status of the Hawaiian people, and their need for both their own lands and their own government in order for their race to survive. It discusses the growth of the sovereignty movement over the last thirty years, and presents models of nationhood that have been proposed. The book is written by a non-Hawaiian and a Hawaiian.
