"Beyond Hawai'i is a sprawling study that moves outward from the island chain of Hawai'i into the vast stretches of the Pacific. Gregory Rosenthal's use of Hawaiian-language source material gives voice to an indigenous working class that eludes other scholars writing in the field. The result is an excellent and highly original work of history that resonates with current debates about Hawaiian sovereignty and more broadly about the place of labor in nineteenth-century capitalist economies."--David Igler, author of The Great Ocean: Pacific Worlds from Captain Cook to the Gold Rush
"Thoughtful and deeply sourced, Beyond Hawai'i gracefully illuminates the aspirations and struggles of Hawaiian chiefs and laborers, and those of an entire Islander civilization navigating a global capitalist system. Through remarkable portraits of Hawaiians like Boki, Make, and Kailiopio, Rosenthal reconstructs complex motives and perspectives as voyagers tie together the world through an oceanic labor circuit."--Matt K. Matsuda, author of Pacific Worlds: A History of Seas, Peoples, and Cultures
