Captive Paradise: A History of Hawaii
James L. HaleyChris Ferguson 🐉@Ballprof @Quillette This book actually WAS good. Just an interesting psychology observation too. The Empire of the Summer Moon is fantastic! A bit different but for Hawaiian history, Captive Paradise by James Haley is also very good in the same (Hawaiians were not peaceful people) vein.

Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America
John McWhorterChris Ferguson 🐉@gerardrodgers History is complicated for sure, but this version of things feels waaaay too ideological. Again, I'd really encourage you to get outside of the bubble that forced this on you and read a bit more widely. Check out "woke racism" by John McWhorter.
