by RWilson (Author)
Presents a reconceptualization of the American project of conversion that begins with the story of Henry 'Opukaha'ia, the first Hawaiian convert to Christianity. The author argues that 'Opukaha'ia's conversion is both remarkable and prototypically American, because he dared to redefine himself via this drive to rebirth.
