Really really enjoyed this. I made service my career, unknowingly in college, and have embodied the tenets of this book — excellence and hospitality — ever since.

Loved reading words that validated my motivations, ideas and actions and am excited to implement ideas I gained from it in my new-ish career: travel!

"The essential argument of this book is that ali`i selectively appropriated Euro-American tools of governance while modifying existing indigenous structure to create a hybrid nation-state as a means to resist colonialism and to protect Native Hawaiian and national interests." (p. 3-4)
