I think it's an interesting question. I just recently read the book Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell, which is a great book about the history of the Americanization of Hawaii. It really shows how huge a role that Christianity played in the overthrow of Hawaii, generations before the actual annexation.
It kind of baffles me as well, knowing that history, that so many (native) Hawaiians are very religious, while still advocating Hawaiian independence. Maybe it speaks to the power of Christianity, or any of the other "big" religions, to inspire fervor in its followers?
I'm personally getting a lot of great recommendations who cares if Grey's assistant likes them.

This one covers the time period of Hawaii from when it was a kingdom to a state, when it's soul is being fought over by missionaries, fruit companies and shipping.
