Between 1850 and 1907, Native Hawaiians sought to develop
relationships with other Pacific Islanders, reflecting how they
viewed not only themselves as a people but their wider connections
to Oceania and the globe. Kealani Cook analyzes the relatively
little known experiences of Native Hawaiian missionaries,
diplomats, and travelers, shedding valuable light on the rich but
understudied accounts of Hawaiians outside of Hawai'i. Native
Hawaiian views of other islanders typically corresponded with their
particular views and experiences of the Native Hawaiian past. The
more positive their outlook, the more likely they were to seek
cross-cultural connections. This is an important intervention in
the growing field of Pacific and Oceanic history and the study of
native peoples of the Americas, where books on indigenous Hawaiians
are few and far between. Cook returns the study of Hawai'i to a
central place in the history of cultural change in the Pacific.
