Requests:  0 Summary:  "King Kamehameha the Great had 30 wives, but Kaʻahumanu (c.1768-1832) was his favorite. Descended from Oceanian voyagers, she grew up in a society completely isolated from the rest of the world, her life enmeshed in dynastic wars and constrained by an elaborate system of taboos. In 1778, she was shocked by the arrival of alien ships, followed by an influx of foreigners. In their wake came devastating epidemics. Seizing power after the King's death, Kaʻahumanu overturned those taboos and guided her nation through revolutionary change, crucial to the Hawaiian Islands' unification. Through sicknesses, romances, infidelities, murders, rebellions, pardons, travels, missionary work, and more, her story challenges things many believe about American history, Christianity, and gender; further, it has implications for our current debates about immigration, sexuality, and religious diversity. Drawing on seldom-analyzed French and Russian sources, this biography covers previously-neglected aspects of Kaʻahumanu's life. The many spouses and lovers she and Kamehameha had, the roles played by Central Europeans, African-Americans, Catholics and Unitarians in her realm, and struggles with religious pluralism are all included"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Kalihi-Palama Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Kaahumanu Go Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Kaahumanu Go Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Kaahumanu Go Checked out 07/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Hawaiian Biography H B Kaahumanu Go Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Kaahumanu Go Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Kaahumanu Go Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Ka'ahumanu Go Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Kaahumanu Go Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Kaahumanu Go Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Kaahumanu Go Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: Prev 1 2 3 Next
