The Rights of My People, Liliuokalani’s Enduring Battle With the United States, 1893 to 1917
“January 1893. Hawaii. The United States Navy stood poised. Gatling gun and bayonets in place. The Navy’s military prowess was intended to displace the native Hawaiian culture and the constitutional monarchy in place for fifty years. Poised, as well, was Queen Liliuokalani…. She took the long view….The Rights of My People examines the two battles for Hawaii’s sovereignty. Liliuokalani led them – the 1893 coup d’état and annexation in 1898 through a new perspective: The harsh remnants of the Civil War, the missionary’s disquieting view of race, and the Renaissance and newly defined role of Hawaiian women. Explored for the first time is the second battle – the fate of the Crown lands, a quarter of the Hawaii islands, taken in the 1893 coup d’état…. and contested aggressively by Liliuokalani through 1910…in the Nation’s capital.”
