Part memoir, part historical record, this intimate narrative by the first and only queen regnant of Hawaii offers a behind-the-scenes account of the kingdom’s annexation by the US and reckons with the emotional and political fallout of that event.
In this unusually personal document, Queen Liliʻuokalani paints a detailed picture of life in a royal family—something few such figures ever attempt. She shares important memories from her childhood and chronicles her life on the international stage, beginning with her momentous ascension to the throne and ending with her effective overthrow by American businessmen and politicians who had little interest in maintaining Hawaii’s autonomy.
Written while she was in exile, Queen Liliʻuokalani’s autobiography remains a powerful reflection of the Hawaiian sovereignty movement and provides a vivid sense of the queen’s immense pride in her people and her home.
Revised edition: Previously published as Hawaii’s Story by Hawaii’s Queen, this edition of Hawaii’s Story by Hawaii’s Queen (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
