Imperial Maine and Hawai'i analyzes and elucidates some of the major themes and currents that shaped nineteenth-century American expansion in the Pacific. While the method used is a discussion of the lives and activities of individual Maine residents who were living in Hawai'i or dealing regularly with the archipelago, Paul T. Burlin's book is not a mere work of state history. Rather, the individual actors are employed as a proxy to discuss the larger issues involved in American imperialism.
