{"product_id":"hawaii-a-history-by-joseph-g-mullins","title":"Hawai‘i A History by Joseph G. Mullins","description":"\u003cp\u003eOf all the states in the Union, Hawai‘i has the most interesting history. No other state was once a kingdom ruled by kings and queens. No other state was settled predominantly by non-European ethnic groups. No other state ever had a U.S. president, a poet laureate, and a saint. And no other state except Alaska was attacked in World War II.\u003cbr\u003eIn less than two centuries, Hawai‘i saw civil wars leading to a unified monarchy, the arrival of missionaries, depopulation from Western diseases, Asian migration for sugar plantations, the monarchy’s overthrow, annexation by the U.S., Pearl Harbor, statehood, and the Hawaiian renaissance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHawai‘i: A History traces these transformations, beginning with the Polynesians who first settled the Islands in double-hulled canoes. A forty-page photo insert captures ancient Hawai‘i, Captain Cook’s arrival, Hawaiian royalty, the overthrow, missionaries, whalers, plantation workers, World War II, and natural disasters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevised and updated, the book reflects the first two decades of the twenty-first century, weaving together migrations, monarchy, statehood, military presence, and cultural fusion. As it explores Hawai‘i’s rich heritage, the guiding principle of aloha ‘āina, or love for the land, resonates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mutual Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53622679437621,"sku":"nlt1790003593799","price":10.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/4978\/8981\/files\/hawaii-a-history-by-joseph-g-mullins_1.jpg?v=1790003598","url":"https:\/\/moistureguardfit.shop\/products\/hawaii-a-history-by-joseph-g-mullins","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
