Reviews

Rosenthal's excellent study of the Hawaiian nineteenth-century working class from its inception to its dissolution is particularly relevant for under-standing the undercurrents of past imperialistic capitalist oppression. The 're-membering' of this community is a significant step in the development of this neglected area within postcolonial studies, one which will hopefully inspire future researchers to engage in Rosenthal's pursuit of epistemological justice. * Journal of New Zealand & Pacific Studies *
