California and Hawai'i Bound
2021
Overview
Beginning in the era of Manifest Destiny, U.S. settlers, writers,
politicians, and boosters worked to bind California and Hawai'i
together in the American imagination, emphasizing white settlement
and capitalist enterprise. In California and Hawai'i Bound
Henry Knight Lozano explores how these settlers and boosters
promoted and imagined California and Hawai'i as connected places
and sites for U.S. settler colonialism, and how this relationship
reveals the fraught constructions of an Americanized Pacific West
from the 1840s to the 1950s. The growing ties of promotion and
development between the two places also fostered the promotion of
\"perils\" over this transpacific relationship, from Native Hawaiians
who opposed U.S. settler colonialism to many West Coast Americans
who articulated social and racial dangers from closer bonds with
Hawai'i, illustrating how U.S. promotional expansionism in the
Pacific existed alongside defensive peril in the complicated
visions of Americanization that linked California and Hawai'i.
California and Hawai'i Bound demonstrates how the settler
colonial discourses of Americanization that connected California
and Hawai'i evolved and refracted alongside socioeconomic
developments and native resistance, during a time when U.S.
territorial expansion, transoceanic settlement and tourism, and
capitalist investment reconstructed both the American West and the
eastern Pacific.
