The 1898 annexation of Hawaiʻi to the US is often framed as an
inevitable step in American expansion—but it was never a foregone
conclusion. By pairing the intimate and epic together in critical
juxtaposition, Christen T. Sasaki reveals the unstable nature not
just of the coup state but of the US empire itself. The attempt to
create a US-backed white settler state in Hawaiʻi sparked a
turn-of-the-century debate about race-based nationalism and
state-based sovereignty and jurisdiction that was contested on the
global stage. Centered around a series of flash points that exposed
the fragility of the imperial project, Pacific Confluence examines
how the meeting and mixing of ideas that occurred between Hawaiians
and Japanese, white American, and Portuguese transients and
settlers led to the dynamic rethinking of the modern
nation-state.Â

Asian American History: Primary Documents of the Asian American
Experience cultivates historical perspective through experiential
and reflective learning. Designed to fill a content gap in general
introductory books on the subject, this text shares documentary
case studies of Asian immigrants struggling for the right to be
fully American. These readings illustrate the dynamic, powerful,
and divisive socially constructed nature of racial categories, as
well as the legacy of colonialism that served as a foundation for
the development of racial hierarchies.
