Nicknamed the "Aloha State," Hawaii is a great deal more than surfers and sunny beaches. This book covers all the basics that students need to know about the fiftieth state, which is the only state comprised of volcanic islands. A timeline of important events and a listing of key facts about the state are also included.
In this fascinating book, George Schedler offers fresh moral and legal perspectives on two legacies of the Civil War: the adoption of the Confederate battle flag by Southern states and the question of African American reparations. Schedler demonstrates that constitutional objections to Southern states' display of the battle flag are without merit, arguing that either the flag is not a racist symbol or there is a similar case for attaching racist significance to the stars and stripes. Drawing on scholarship of the Civil War and its aftermath, the author concludes that the Confederate battle flag can actually be seen as a multicultural symbol. Schedler's analysis of reparations focuses on the principle that whatever the enslaved would have earned and enjoyed had they not been enslaved should determine compensation. Highly original and thought-provoking, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of the Civil War, moral philosophy, and constitutional law.
Provides an in-depth and comprehensive portrait of the state of Hawaii, including its history, people, land, economy, attractions, and government.
