Hawai‘i in World History

Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in any WC&IL II course or HON 1000.

This course will examine how Hawai‘i became integrated into global networks through its experience of trans-Pacific migrations; the rise and fall of the global whaling and sandalwood industries; the arrival of missionaries; the advent of colonialism; the rise and fall of its uniquely outward looking monarchy; and its engagement in global conflict and the global context in which Hawaiians formed their unique cultural values, performance art, and music admired around the world.
