In \u003ci\u003eCalifornia and Hawai'i Bound\u003c\/i\u003e Henry Knight Lozano explores how these settlers and boosters promoted and imagined California and Hawai'i as connected places and sites for U.S. settler colonialism, and how this relationship reveals the fraught constructions of an Americanized Pacific West from the 1840s to the 1950s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The growing ties of promotion and development between the two places also fostered the promotion of \"perils\" over this transpacific relationship, from Native Hawaiians who opposed U.S. settler colonialism to many West Coast Americans who articulated social and racial dangers from closer bonds with Hawai'i, illustrating how U.S. promotional expansionism in the Pacific existed alongside defensive peril in the complicated visions of Americanization that linked California and Hawai'i. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCalifornia and Hawai'i Bound\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how the settler colonial discourses of Americanization that connected California and Hawai'i evolved and refracted alongside socioeconomic developments and native resistance, during a time when U.S. territorial expansion, transoceanic settlement and tourism, and capitalist investment reconstructed both the American West and the eastern Pacific.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHenry Knight Lozano\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior lecturer in American history at the University of Exeter.
