Reseñas
Interesting, but perhaps because I'm not an American?
Timothy Ferguson
Perhaps half a star less if you are an American and therefore are familiar with many of these stories. Well read. "How Hawaii Lost Its Queen" comes from a historically interesting angle, in that it sees the invasion of Hawaii as entirely justified and basically the fault of the last Queen. Now, that's not how we'd read it today, I imagine, but its interesting to see the ideology behind it, and how Americans justified it to themselves at the time.
