<br/><br/> This book examines the role of coercion in the unification of the Hawaiian Islands by Kamehameha I between 1782 and 1812 at a time of increasing European contact. Modern historians from the Hawai'inuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge argue that political leadership and socioeconomic organisation were more concensus-based than is usually allowed for.
