Book Reviews of Then There Were None
Book Review: Emotional Mess
Summary: 1 Stars
I was terribly distraught to find this book has nothing to do with actual history but is rather a book of emotional propoganda. The author actually says it is not a history in the beginning of the book (although she uses one sided history to make a point throughout). I am very interested in native movements and I buy books accordingly. This was an over-priced sweeping generalization of the Hawaiian people. This book is what Aristotle called an unfair form of communication- Pathos or emotion because there is no room for argument or debate. The author acts as though she is speaking for every Hawaiian and that all Hawaiians are rising together to overthrow the American government. Dont waste your money like I did. There are many other enjoyable reads on Hawaiian history that give actual analysis and thought to the subject without tying to inspire riotous overthrow.
Summary of Then There Were None
Then There Were None, by award-winning Honolulu writer and artist Martha H. Noyes, is a personal and emotional account, in words and pictures, of the effect of Western contact on the Hawaiian population. Drawing from a variety of sources, Noyes chronicles the effects, from the arrival of Capt. Cook to the present, of disease, written language, the missionaries, landownership, the overthrow of the monarchy, and the suppression of hula and Hawaiian language, concluding with a look at present-day activism. Photographs vividly contrast tourist images with scenes from the real Hawai'i and highlight the contrast between a culture rooted in cosmology and the material culture of those who made Hawai'i their own.General Books
