"Benham and Heck provide a rich historical account of how schooling contributed to the disenfranchisement and subordination of Native Hawaiians, but their book is of far more than local or historical interest. Instead, the story that they tell illuminates the painful political and cultural dilemmas that underlie the current debate over multiculturalism in United States schools....Their book shows how we arrived in our current fix, and suggests how we might begin to think about extricating ourselves. It is a fascinating case study, and an important contribution to current policy debates."
