Hawaiian Nation: A Call for Hawaiian Sovereignty

By Michael K. Dudley, Keoni K. Agard, Michael Kioni Dudley

Book Overview

Willa Cather's first published novel, set in Boston, London, and Paris, is the story of a man unable to resolve the contradictions in his own nature. The central figures are Bartley Alexander, a world-famous engineer; his wife; Winifred, a Boston society matron; and his former love, Hilda Burgoyne, a London actress. Long considered an uncharacteristic production, in the light of recent scholarship "Alexander's Bridge" is seen to be closely linked to the body of Cather's work, thematically as well as in its use of myth and symbol. Bernice Slote's introduction considers the circumstances of its composition and its relationship to the later novels, particularly "One of Ours," "The Professor's House," and "Lucy Gayheart." The text has been entirely reset from the first (1912) edition.

Hawaiian Sovereignty Shakes Off Its Chains!

This is an excellent, in depth examination of a crucial issue weighing at the heart of "Amerika" here at the beginning of a new millennium: Indigenous self-determination and the illegal military occupation of a sovereign Kingdom for the last 100 years. Highly recommended reading for every American, and for those who wish to understand the fundamental heritage and history of the Hawaiian people, guardians of a sacred, wise, powerful, ancient culture.
