Interesting, but how interesting can the history of a university be?
|
Malamalama: A History of the University of Hawai'i, becomes interesting at two points in time: when the book first comes out (1998) and at some time in the future when it becomes that valued (quaint or scholastic) history.
I first read it in 1999, when I wanted to be introduced to the background of the Univeristy of Hawaii. I also read Who Runs the University: The Politics of Higher Education in Hawaii, 1985-1992, by David Yount, which came out in 1996. One book focuses on place, and the other focuses on politics.
Robert M. Kamins does a nice job with Malamalama: A History of the University of Hawai'i. There is a great deal of detail about the people and events that shaped the university. At the end, you WILL feel that you have a much better understanding of the University of Hawaii.
Oh, and that young woman on the dust jacket? Aunty Bea. Kamins also dedicates the book to her... now there is a book that still needs to be written. |
