Twelve companies of American missionaries were sent to the Hawaiian Islands between 1819 and 1848 with the goal of spreading American Christianity and New England values. By the 1850s American missionary families in the islands had birthed more than 250 white children, considered Hawaiian subjects by the indigenous monarchy and U.S. citizens by missionary parents. In Hawaiian by Birth Joy Schulz explores the tensions among the competing parental, cultural, and educational interests affecting these children and, in turn, the impact the children had on nineteenth-century U.S. foreign policy.
These children of white missionaries would eventually alienate themselves from the Hawaiian monarchy and indigenous population by securing disproportionate economic and political power. Their childhoodscomplicated by both Hawaiian and American influencesled to significant political and international ramifications once the children reached adulthood. Almost none chose to follow their parents into the missionary profession, and many rejected the Christian faith. Almost all supported the annexation of Hawaii despite their parents hope that the islands would remain independent.
Whether the missionary children moved to the U.S. mainland, stayed in the islands, or traveled the world, they took with them a sense of racial privilege and cultural superiority. Schulz adds childrens voices to the historical record with this first comprehensive study of the white children born in the Hawaiian Islands between 1820 and 1850 and their path toward political revolution.

Hawaiian by Birth is a superb study at the dynamic intersection of imperial - photo 1

Hawaiian by Birth is a superb study at the dynamic intersection of imperial, Hawaiian, cultural, and childhood histories. Joy Schulz is a passionate writer, and her work is filled with surprising implications for the history of nineteenth-century Hawaii.

David Igler, author of The Great Ocean: Pacific Worlds from Captain Cook to the Gold Rush

We understand that the normative, heterosexual family constitutes the nation-state. This remarkable, innovative study reveals the centrality of that family in birthing empire through a history of childhood. Race, gender, sexuality, class, and religion intersect to advance U.S. imperialism in the Pacific and settler colonialism in Hawaii.

Travel from New England to the Hawaiian Islands in 1819 required a six-month - photo 2

Travel from New England to the Hawaiian Islands in 1819 required a six-month journey by sea around South America. Contemporary travel accounts, such as this 1806 map of the Western Hemisphere by English cartographer John Cary (17541835), would have demonstrated to the American missionaries the enormity of their decision. Missionary children, unlike their parents, centered their world in the Pacific Ocean. From John Cary, Carys New Universal Atlas, containing distinct maps of all the principal states and kingdoms throughout the World. From the latest and best authorities extant (London: Printed for J. Cary, Engraver and Map-seller, No. 181, near Norfolk Street, Strand, 1808). Wikimedia Commons.

Kauhua Ku, ka Lani, i-loli ka moku; Hookohi ke kua-koko o ka Lani; He kua-koko, pu-koko i ka honua; He kua-koko kapu no ka Lani. (Big with child is the Princess Ku; the whole island suffers her whimsies; the pangs of labor are on her; labor that stains the land with blood.)

Ancient Hawaiian mele

In 1819, when passenger travel across the Pacific Ocean was unfathomable to most Americans, seven couples and five children left New England and made the nearly six-month sea voyage around Cape Horn to the Hawaiian Islands, arriving in 1820. The young missionaries left behind their worldly possessions but took with them the prayers and financial support of the newly established American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ( ABCFM ). The missionaries were soon joined by others. Between 1819 and 1848 the ABCFM launched roughly 150 missionaries across the Pacific Ocean to the Hawaiian Islands. As the first U.S. missionary organization with an international agenda, the ABCFM hoped to evangelize the small, independent island kingdom according to Congregational and Presbyterian theology.

Domestic concerns became political ones, and the American missionaries began to rationalize policies transferring land and political power to their control.

In fact, the number of white children born in the Hawaiian Islands influenced more than missionary policy. Children did not retain their missionary parents qualms about using the Hawaiian land for material benefit or shaping the islands into what they termed an Anglo-Hawaiian society. In reality the essence of their childhoods had groomed them for little else. Through parental neglect, as well as their parents imperfect attempts to racially segregate them, the children developed an aggressive independence that tended to question both parental and native authority. In the process the children cultivated a deep possessiveness over Hawaiian lands, which culminated in their revolt against the Hawaiian monarchy at the end of the nineteenth century.
