Language: English Table of ContentsReviewsGateway State is a great book about Hawai'i statehood and a pathbreaking story of race and foreign relations in postwar America. By viewing this Cold War crossroads from local, national, and global perspectives, Sarah Miller-Davenport deftly integrates Hawai'i history into U.S. history. Gateway State gives readers a whole new way of thinking about the United States in the Pacific world in the twentieth century. -Christopher Capozzola, Massachusetts Institute of Technology A highly original, deeply researched, and lucidly presented work, Gateway State offers a rich investigation into the political, cultural, and discursive efforts that moved Hawai'i to statehood. With crisp and forceful arguments and vivid abundant details, this highly teachable book will have a significant impact on American and transpacific studies and considerations of the United States in the world. -Penny Von Eschen, Cornell University This powerful book reveals the ways that Americans' ideological uses of racially integrated Hawai'i-as message to a decolonizing world and model for a desegregating mainland-bolstered racial and imperial inequalities, and promoted new forms of intractable, hierarchical difference in the name of multiculturalism. Deeply researched and elegantly crafted, Gateway State is a critically important work in the historiographies of U.S. racial formation, overseas colonialism, and the United States in the world. -Paul A. Kramer, author of The Blood of Government: Race, Empire, the United States, and the Philippines Gateway State centers the political importance of Hawai'i in the midst of post-World War II global decolonization and racial liberation movements in the United States. Well-researched and brilliantly argued, this book examines how leaders positioned the fiftieth state as a racial and consumer paradise, and how colonized subjects resisted this Cold War agenda. This fascinating work expands the understanding of connections between the Cold War and civil rights. -Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, University of California, Irvine Gateway State is an indispensable book that argues for Hawai'i's centrality in U.S. postwar global expansion, race relations at home, and the fraught origins of multiculturalism. Put simply, this is an important work. -Lien-Hang T.
