With subtlety and remarkable clarity, Knight Lozano employs settler-colonial theory to elucidate social and political developments in two distinct but intertwined Pacific societies. Time and again, we see that settler visions ran aground on historical realities, as Indigenous resistance and resilience shaped the new societies that emerged. But settler colonialism, extractive capitalism, and racial Manifest Destiny also proved resilient. A superb history of American empire in the Pacific West, California and Hawai'i Bound is a must-read for scholars of the United States and global history in the modern era. --Seth Archer, assistant professor of history at Utah State University --Seth Archer
