Description
Beginning in the era of Manifest Destiny, U.S. settlers, writers, politicians, and boosters worked to bind California and Hawai'i together in the American imagination, emphasizing white settlement and capitalist enterprise. In California and Hawai'i Bound Henry Knight Lozano explores how these settlers and boosters promoted and imagined California and Hawai'i as connected places and sites for U.S. settler colonialism, and how this relationship reveals the fraught constructions of an Americanized Pacific West from the 1840s to the 1950s.
The growing ties of promotion and development between the two places also fostered the promotion of "perils" over this transpacific relationship, from Native Hawaiians who opposed U.S. settler colonialism to many West Coast Americans who articulated social and racial dangers from closer bonds with Hawai'i, illustrating how U.S. promotional expansionism in the Pacific existed alongside defensive peril in the complicated visions of Americanization that linked California and Hawai'i. California and Hawai'i Bound demonstrates how the settler colonial discourses of Americanization that connected California and Hawai'i evolved and refracted alongside socioeconomic developments and native resistance, during a time when U.S. territorial expansion, transoceanic settlement and tourism, and capitalist investment reconstructed both the American West and the eastern Pacific.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
