Binding with rubbing but solid and text with usual toning. A very good and stout copy.On pp. 201 to 219 we find one ofd the very earliest accounts of the American Missionaries activities in Hawaii. "On March 30 1820 Hawaii would witness the dawn of Christianity and the most influential religious group in Hawaii. After 164 days of traveling through the United States and sailing through the Pacific Ocean in the Thaddeus fourteen missionaries seven mission couples would arrive in Hawaii landing at Kawaihae and Kailua-Kona Big Island. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions funded these missionaries who were Presbyterians Congregationalists and Dutch Reformists from New England. Before their arrival the kingdom was transforming: King Kamehameha I the monarch who united the Hawaiian islands died and Liholiho Kamehameha II and Queen Kaahumanu co-ruled Hawaii. After reigning for six months they ended the kapu system leaving behind a religious void.In Hawaii the missionaries converted Hawaiian people to the Christian faith developed the written form of Hawaiian discouraged many Hawaiian cultural practices introduced their Western practices and encouraged the spread of English. One of the most powerful converts Queen Kaahumanu embraced Christianity imposed it to the rest of the kingdom and banned Hawaiian religious practices. The missionaries' impact would continue through their descendents who would become the political business and cultural elites of Hawaii and act as a driving force towards Hawaii's Westernization."

1947219311947. Japanese-American WWII Official yearbook of the 1947 graduating class at Punahou School in Honolulu Hawaiʻi which serves as a vivid document of postwar life in a multiracial student body that included a notable presence of Japanese American students. Bound in embossed dark blue leatherette. 8.5" x 11". Heavily illustrated. Published two years after the end of World War II this year's volume shows the continued presence and leadership of Nisei students despite the hardship faced in school years prior. With numerous signed messages by students-including Japanese American classmates such as W. Kobayashi G. Ogawa and H. Takakuwa-this volume provides rare evidence of social reintegration and interracial camaraderie in the wake of a war that saw Japanese Americans subjected to mass suspicion and surveillance across the United States. While Japanese Americans in Hawaiʻi were spared the large-scale incarceration endured by their mainland counterparts they still lived under martial law from 1941 to 1944. During this time thousands were dismissed from government jobs arrested without charge or pressured to prove loyalty-conditions that deeply affected the Nisei generation. Many of the students represented here likely had family members who served in the famed 100th Infantry Battalion or the 442nd Regimental Combat Team the most decorated unit in U.S. military history. Others may have experienced community surveillance loss of employment or restricted freedoms under Hawaiʻi's military government. In this context the 1947 Oahuan is not simply a yearbook-it is a document of recovery dignity and the quiet persistence of young Japanese Americans reclaiming space in public life through scholarship athletics and social visibility. This particular copy is especially notable for its extensive endpaper inscriptions with dozens of students having signed their names in ink making this a personalized artifact of postwar student life. The volume features photographs of senior portraits student clubs athletic teams and lively candid montages with Nisei students prominently and equitably featured. Sports team photos show a remarkable ethnic diversity with surnames like Kobayashi and Koneshige appearing beside those of white and Hawaiian students. The visual presentation echoes Hawaiʻi's unique multiracial culture and hints at the relative integration of elite schools like Punahou in contrast to the segregation typical of many mainland institutions during this era. Endpapers are completely filled with original signatures. Wear to covers with some cracking at interior hinge and one corner of the pastedown torn. Overall very good condition. A rare signed witness to Nisei perseverance in a racially stratified but uniquely hybrid territory on the cusp of statehood. unknown
