jonjeffryes 's review for:
Unfamiliar Fishes
by Sarah Vowell
A nice introduction to the history of US/Hawaiian relations. It's popular history but Vowell has done extensive research and talks about an aspect of American history that doesn't get a lot of coverage. It's only 160 pages so would be the perfect length for a trans-Pacific flight to the islands, but Americans may want to wait for the return trip as the book will complicate your understanding of the state's relationship with the US. I was left wanting more of the Hawaiian voices and could have used less interesting facts of the lives of missionaries.
