Detours : a decolonial guide to Hawaiʻi
Hokulani K. Aikau (Editor), Vernadette Vicuña Gonzalez (Editor)
"Many people first encounter Hawaiʻi through the imagination--a postcard picture of Hula girls, luʻaus, and plenty of sun, surf, and sea. While Hawaiʻi is indeed beautiful, Native Hawaiians struggle with the problems brought about by colonialism, military occupation, tourism, food insecurity, high costs of living, and the effects of climate change. In this brilliant reinvention of the travel guide, artists, activists, and scholars redirect readers from the fantasy of Hawaiʻi as a tropical paradise and tourist destination toward a multilayered and holistic engagement with Hawaiʻi's culture and complex history. The essays, stories, artworks, maps, and tour itineraries in Detours create decolonial narratives in ways that will forever change how readers think about and move throughout Hawaiʻi"--Back cover
