Hawai'i is in many ways the most unique of the American states.
Distinguished by its unusual beauty, ethnic diversity, and
lingering image as a paradise, Hawai'i is special for other
important, but less apparent, reasons. It is the only American
state to have evolved from a kingdom, the only state with no
jurisdictions below the level of county, the only state in which
Caucasians have never been in the majority, and the only state
whose historic identity and contemporary relationships are as much
with Asia and the Pacific as with the rest of the United States.
The nature and trajectory of Hawaiian politics spring from the
interaction of these unique elements with more traditional American
cultural practices, institutions, and political processes. Also
shaping past and present politics are multiple collisions among
Native Hawaiians, western missionaries and businessmen, and Asian
immigrants. "Hawai'i Politics and Government" brings together
information on historical development, ethnic relations, public
institutions, political culture, and current issues to discover
both the similarities and the differences between Hawai'i and the
rest of the country.
