In Unsustainable Empire Dean Itsuji Saranillio Offers A Bold Challenge To Conventional Understandings Of Hawaiis Admission As A U.S. State. Hawaii Statehood Is Popularly Remembered As A Civil Rights Victory Against Racist Claims That Hawaii Was Undeserving Of Statehood Because It Was A Largely Nonwhite Territory. Yet Native Hawaiian Opposition To Statehood Has Been All But Forgotten. Saranillio Tracks These Disparate Stories By Marshaling A Variety Of Unexpected Genres And Archives: Exhibits At World'S Fairs, Political Cartoons, Propaganda Films, A Multimilliondollar Hoax On Hawaiis Tourism Industry, Water Struggles, And Stories Of Hauntings, Among Others. Saranillio Shows That Statehood Was Neither The Expansion Of U.S. Democracy Nor A Strong Nation Swallowing A Weak And Feeble Island Nation, But The Result Of A U.S. Nation Whose Economy Was Unsustainable Without Enacting A More Aggressive Policy Of Imperialism. With Clarity And Persuasive Force About Historically And Ethically Complex Issues, Unsustainable Empire Provides A More Complicated Understanding Of Hawaiis Admission As The Fiftieth State And Why Native Hawaiian Placebased Alternatives To U.S. Empire Are Urgently Needed.
