• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

If you are reading this, it means you are looking for something more than a tan.

Hawaiʻi is the most isolated population center on Earth. It is a place of immense beauty, but for millions of visitors each year, that beauty is reduced to a two-dimensional backdropa postcard image of a palm tree, a sunset, and a smiling hula dancer.

But a postcard has no depth. It has no voice. It cannot scream, it cannot sing, and it cannot bleed.

The Beyond The Postcard series is an invitation to look behind the curtain.

Written by Native Hawaiian educator and storyteller Alston Alika Albarado, this book bridges the gap between the "Visitor" and the "Guest." It rejects the dry tone of textbooks and the superficial fluff of travel brochures. Instead, it offers a Narrative History that reads like a novel.

In The Real Oʻahu, you will discover:

• The Geology of Violence: How two massive shield volcanoes collapsed to form the island we know today.
• The Star Navigators: Debunking the "drift theory" and revealing the engineering genius of the waʻa kauluacanoes.
• The Stolen Kingdom: The heartbreaking, minute-by-minute account of the Overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani and her imprisonment in ʻIolani Palace.
• The Day of Infamy: The untold stories of the civilians and local firefighters who died during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
• The Modern Struggle: From the birth of Pidgin in the plantation fields to the "Concrete Serpent" of the Skyline rail project.

He mai. Come in. The real story is waiting.
