The Queen and I: A Story of Dispossessions and Reconnections in Hawai'i Paperback - 2011 - 1st Edition
by Sydney L. Iaukea
From the rear cover
"The Queen and I will be a very important contribution to historical and political literature on early twentieth century Hawai'i. But through its intensely personal narrative, it could have an even greater impact on the way people look at history. Sydney Iaukea weaves archival information into a story about a well-known historical figure while demonstrating the impact of these archival voices on herself. In this way she binds herself to her ancestor and allows him to speak through her, showing how an ancient value can be a new methodology for Native writers in indigenous studies."
--Jonathan Kay Kamakawiwo'ole Osorio, author of Dismembering Lahui: A History of the Hawaiian Nation to 1887
"Raised in Maui's housing projects, Sydney Iaukea discovers as an adult that she is the direct descendent of Curtis P. Iaukea, a prominent statesman and trusted adviser to Queen Lili'uokalani, the Hawaiian Kingdom's last ruling monarch. In this courageous work, she documents her dual quest to recover her lost lineage and her ancestor's historical importance. Revealing the continuity between public and private, personal and historical, Sydney Iaukea's compelling narrative brings her readers face-to-face with Lili'uokalani during the tragic days of her overthrow."
--Mary Palevsky, author of Atomic Fragments: A Daughter's Questions
"For those of us born and raised in Hawai'i, Sydney Iaukea's work sheds light on a period of time about which we still know too little, the overthrow of Hawai'i's sovereign government and its forcible annexation to the U.S. This is a compelling narrative, driven by the mystery of a girl growing up poor, unaware of her distinguished lineage. How could this disconnect have occurred? Through the exploration of memories embedded in the landscape, Iaukea ultimately links displacement, dispossession, and familial strife to Hawai'i's troubled history with the U.S. Iaukea is to be commended for her honest and open heart."
--Matthew M. Hamabata, Executive Director, The Kohala Center
