As the 19th c. comes to a close, hero John Tana has settled on a farm with his family and does security work for the plantations. But all is not peaceful. Tattooed men attack his family. Western business interests are gaining political power, plantations are pushing Hawaiians off their land and taking the water, and Hawaiians ill with leprosy are imprisoned for life on a remote island. Hawaiians feel increasing pressure and desperation. When leprosy victims on Kauai are ordered to leave a secluded valley open rebellion leads to military attacks including artillery. Marines force the queen to abdicate her throne after she proposes a new constitution to restore Hawaiians to power which leads to armed resistance. Is there hope for success?

This is the first book to describe an historically unique, spontaneous, leaderless uprising in the Hawaiian islands, in 2001. When an entrepreneur got the idea to start a high-speed, inter-island ferry to connect Honolulu with the neighbor islands, his idea was hijacked by a corporate entity with vast military ties, and became a prototype of Americas sea-based military strategy for the 21st century. The project rode in on a wave of deception and corruptionfrom the governors office, to the Hawaii Superferry corporation, but the Superferry deal was never approved by the people of Hawaii, and this galvanized Hawaiians. On Kauai, citizens took to surfboards and effectively blocked the vessel from entering the harbor, among other emotional protests. This story of personal and political empowerment, an unprecedented showdown against the latest tourist-military intrusion into the Hawaiian way of life, landscape, and local sovereignty, both grim and hopeful.

Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen is a book written by Queen Liliuokalani, the last monarch of the Kingdom of Hawai'i. It was published in 1898, five years after the overthrow of the Kingdom. In it, Liliuokalani gives her account of her upbringing, her accession to the throne, the overthrow of her government by pro-American forces, her appeals to the United States to restore the Hawaiian monarchy, and her arrest and trial following an unsuccessful 1895 rebellion against the Republic of Hawai'i.Her appeals immediately after the Hawaiian Revolution were acted upon by her friend, President Grover Cleveland, who demanded her reinstatement from the President of Hawai'i, Sanford B. Dole, following a confidential investigation and report by James Henderson Blount submitted July 17, 1893. Dole refused Cleveland's demands. Cleveland then referred the matter to the United States Congress. The Congress investigated further and produced the Morgan Report on February 26, 1894 which concluded that the U.S. had no role in the Hawaiian Revolution. Following the Morgan Report, the Turpie Resolution of May 31, 1894 ended any hope for further assistance in regaining her throne, and her further appeals for help were rebuffed by the Cleveland administration.In 1898, the same year the book was originally published, Hawai'i was formally annexed by the United States of America.This book is seen by many in the Hawaiian sovereignty movement as a key source documenting the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. Many of her assertions regarding the overthrow are contradicted by other primary sources, including the Morgan Report and the Native Hawaiians Study Commission Report of 1983.In either case, many people believe that the work is successful in conveying the frustration and sadness by the Queen and her supporters both for her loss of the throne, as well as the end of the independent nation of Hawai'i upon annexation to the United States.

When God created heaven and earth, he also created heaven and Teren. Planet Teren is identical to Earth in every respect, including its placement in a duplicate solar system. Since creation, the two parallel planets developed along almost identical lines, and when God saw that the humans on each planet were not following his commandments, he decided to send his twin sons to intercede, one son to each planet. When both sons were confronted with crucifixion, God let it stand on Earth and every other chapter gives the reader Earth's historical highlights for the past two thousand years (including each and every documented war). On planet Teren, however, God stepped in and not only resurrected Jesus but also then installed him as the CEO of the planet. From his base in Jerusalem, the Teren Jesus set the standards for human development and without war""or for that matter, any form of sin""the people of Teren turned their attention to making life meaningful, fulfilling, pleasant, and Christian. (Every other chapter documents the development on Teren over the past two thousand years.) On Earth, millions upon millions of human brains were scattered across killing field after killing field. What might have come out of those millions upon millions of lost and destroyed brains? We may find out as we take a tantalizing glimpse into life on God's Parallel Planets.

An innovative history that shows how the religious idea of the heathen in need of salvation undergirds American conceptions of race. If an eighteenth-century parson told you that the difference between “civilization and heathenism is sky-high and star-far,” the words would hardly come as a shock. But that statement was written by an American missionary in 1971. In a sweeping historical narrative, Kathryn Gin Lum shows how the idea of the heathen has been maintained from the colonial era to the present in religious and secular discourses—discourses, specifically, of race. Americans long viewed the world as a realm of suffering heathens whose lands and lives needed their intervention to flourish. The term “heathen” fell out of common use by the early 1900s, leading some to imagine that racial categories had replaced religious differences. But the ideas underlying the figure of the heathen did not disappear. Americans still treat large swaths of the world as “other” due to their assumed need for conversion to American ways. Purported heathens have also contributed to the ongoing significance of the concept, promoting solidarity through their opposition to white American Christianity. Gin Lum looks to figures like Chinese American activist Wong Chin Foo and Ihanktonwan Dakota writer Zitkála-Šá, who proudly claimed the label of “heathen” for themselves. Race continues to operate as a heathen inheritance in the United States, animating Americans’ sense of being a world apart from an undifferentiated mass of needy, suffering peoples. Heathen thus reveals a key source of American exceptionalism and a prism through which Americans have defined themselves as a progressive and humanitarian nation even as supposed heathens have drawn on the same to counter this national myth.

Western interventions today have much in common with the countless violent conflicts that have occurred on Europe's periphery since the conquest of the Americas in the sixteenth century. Like their predecessors, modern imperial wars are shaped especially by spatial features and by pronounced asymmetries of military organisation, resources, modes of warfare and cultures of violence between the respective parties. Today's imperial wars are essentially civil wars, in which Western powers are only one player among many. As ever, the Western military machine is proving incapable of resolving political strife through force, or of engaging opponents with no reason to offer conventional combat, who instead rely on guerrilla warfare and terrorism. And, as they always have, local populations pay the price for these shortcomings. Colonial Violence aims to offer, for the first time, a coherent explanation of the logic of violent hostilities within the context of European expansion. Walter's analysis reveals parallels between different empires and continuities spanning historical epochs. He concludes that recent Western military interventions, from Afghanistan to Mali, are not new wars, but stand in the 500-year-old tradition of transcultural violent conflict, under the specific conditions of colonialism.
