Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell
4.0

The colonization and exploitation of people and resources is hardly a cheery topic, but Ms. Vowell's deadpan humor got me through this book, although only barely. This is about how Hawaii changed from an isolated island kingdom to one of the fifty states. Disease, greed, and lying play a big part. I'm glad I read this. I now have my awareness raised.
