The first three decades of the twentieth century in late-colonial Vietnam--the period that also marked the transition between the dominant Confucian and nascent Western worldviews--generated an abundance of political literature in that country.

Whether from the old or the new

The fourth and final volume of the Hawaiian National Bibliography, 1780-1900, records the most volatile period in Hawai’i’s history. American business interests and the desire for a constitutional monarchy were pitted against the desire of the monarchs, King Kalakaua and Queen Lili’uokalani, to strengthen the power of the throne. The convulsions of the 1887 and 1889 revolutions were succeeded by the overthrow of the monarchy on January 17, 1893. Documents revealing the struggle over annexation, beginning in 1893, and the counterrevolution of 1895 are an important component
