Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Modern Language Association’s Prize for Studies in Native American Literatures, Cultures, and Languages Winner of the American Historical Association’s Albert J. Beveridge Award Winner of NAISA's Best Subsequent Book Award Winner of the Western History Association's John C. Ewers Award Finalist for the John Hope Franklin Prize What if we saw indigenous people as the active agents of global exploration rather than as the passive objects of that exploration? What if, instead of conceiving of global exploration as an enterprise just of European men such as Columbus or Cook or Magellan, we thought of it as an enterprise of the people they “discovered”? What could such a new perspective reveal about geographical understanding and its place in struggles over power in the context of colonialism? The World and All the Things upon It addresses these questions by tracing how Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian people) explored the outside world and generated their own understandings of it in the century after James Cook’s arrival in 1778. Writing with verve, David A. Chang draws on the compelling words of long-ignored Hawaiian-language sources—stories, songs, chants, and political prose—to demonstrate how Native Hawaiian people worked to influence their metaphorical “place in the world.” We meet, for example, Ka?iana, a Hawaiian chief who took an English captain as his lover and, while sailing throughout the Pacific, considered how Chinese, Filipinos, Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans might shape relations with Westerners to their own advantage. Chang’s book is unique in examining travel, sexuality, spirituality, print culture, gender, labor, education, and race to shed light on how constructions of global geography became a site through which Hawaiians, as well as their would-be colonizers, perceived and contested imperialism, colonialism, and nationalism. Rarely have historians asked how non-Western people imagined and even forged their own geographies of their colonizers and the broader world. This book takes up that task. It emphasizes, moreover, that there is no better way to understand the process and meaning of global exploration than by looking out from the shores of a place, such as Hawai?i, that was allegedly the object, and not the agent, of exploration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geography of the Hawaiian Islands The volcanic fires ceased first on Kauai, and so, as it became greatly eroded and acquired more forms of plant life, it has been called the oldest island of the group; this does not mean, how ever, that it appeared above the surface of the ocean first, or even before Hawaii, the youngest island, which, with its two active volcanoes, is still in the making process, though it has already been built up 8575 feet higher than Kauai. The surface features of the group are characterized by lofty mountains with gentle slopes, which are cut up by many gorges of great depth. The valleys of West Maui and Kauai are among the grandest in the world. The windward or northeast sides terminate in cliffs, which, on Hawaii and Molokai, are several thousand feet high in places. The upper slopes of the moun tains are covered with a dense tropical growth of great beauty, which extends nearly to the sea on the windward side. Situated as they are at the crossroads of the steamer routes across the Pacific, the Hawaiian Islands occupy a position of great commercial and strategic' importance - and thus well merit the epithet which is applied to them, The Key of the Pacific.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a review of by Ragnar Carlson, Honolulu Weekly, Vol. 9, June 8-14, 2005: In this collection, Dennis Kawaharada, a noted chronicler of native Hawaiian literature, explores the historical and contemporary terrain of his beloved Hawai'i. From a memoir of boyhood days in Kane'ohe to a travelogue from a recent expedition to the Northwest Hawaiian Islands, each of these essays weaves Kawaharada's experience into something larger, creating a remarkable tapestry of cultural, personal and natural history. Kawaharada is a gifted essayist--in his hands, the book's title piece becomes in equal parts discussion of the Hawaiian calendar, historical biography of Hawaiian literary figures and exposition on "Moolelo o Pakaa a me Kuapakaa," a native Hawaiian chant in which the speaker circles O'ahu, naming each ahupua'a and each wind along the way. The opening essay, "Mango Trees on Kea'ahala Road," explores the alienation and confusion that result when one's identity is rooted in the soil of Kane'ohe but assaulted by a barrage of cultural and political messages from faraway lands. "I found my prime meridian ran not through Greenwich, God, America or the Bank of Hawai'i," Kawaharada writes, "but through the mango trees on Kea'ahala Road." "Personal reflections on home territory" posted on Amazon Book Reviews, January 20, 2014: I really enjoyed and appreciated this very personal account of growing up and seeking a deep understanding of the author's home - Hawaii. The author is of Japanese ancestry and describe what it was like through childhood, college and establishing adulthood on the island of Oahu-how the races related and how he grew to increasingly set roots in his home. The format consists of a series of essays which also include chapters about the voyaging canoe Hokule'a and visits to the tiny, distant NW Hawaiian islands. Some of the discussion of races in Hawaii is quite frank but refreshingly honest from the author's perspective. The book also serves as a guide to important literature on Hawaiian roots. Highly recommended. JW, email, Sept, 29, 2014: Thank you for your wonderful book! That small volume enlightened and educated me in a way that felt very satisfying. My family has lived on the islands since 1972 and I moved here in 2006 from California, (San Francisco born, third generation, UC Berkeley grad). You gave me a way to relate to the multicultural life here, that I couldn't find on my own. Feeling that I appreciated so much, culturally and historically, but didn't understand many aspects of life here, your words taught me, filled a void and gave me a needed friend-your voice and insight, enriched with your dedicated studies, humanitarian concerns and uninhibited expression. Once I complete reading the literature you cite, I know my feet will be planted more firmly on this island ground! DR, letter, April 9, 2005: I just finished reading your recent book, Local Geography. I don't think I'm the typical reader you had in mind while writing. I'm a haole girl from Seattle who's been in Hawaii for a little over two years. Immediately after arriving I noticed how little I knew about Hawaii and it's culture, so I began checking out books at the library to learn more about my new "home." I came across your book on my latest trip to the library. I've read many books about various aspects of Hawaii (history, culture, fiction, non-fiction), but none have made the culture here as real and dynamic as yours. I felt like I was able to look through your eyes and see Hawaii's culture from a Kama'aina's perspective from childhood into adulthood. Your stories that taught me some new things as well as verified some feelings I had but couldn't confirm.

The Hawaiian reefs abound in representatives of the phylum, i including such odd and diverse animals as the starfish, sea-urchins, brittle-stars and the sea-cucumbers. The curious bleached white skeletons of the sea-urchins, with the beautiful lace-like pattern pierced in fine holes over the biscuit-shaped shell or test, are among the objects picked up with shells and seaweed on the sand beach. They are hardly to be recognized, however, as the remains of the spiny sea-urchin so often stepped on by incautious bathers. They arc the "hedge-hogs" of the sea, since the numerous calcareous plates forming the shell are covered in the several species with variously-shaped spines. These spines serve the ina, as the sea-urchins are called by the natives, as a means of protection, and in certain species they are used to assist in boring the burrows often inhabited by them in the solid rock below low-tide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hawaii is a rare and special place, in which beauty and isolation combine to form a vision of paradise. That isolation, though, comes at a price: resources in modern-day Hawaii are strained and expensive, and current economic models dictate that the Hawaiian Islands are reliant upon imported food, fuels, and other materials. Yet the islands supported a historic Hawaiian population of a million people or more. This was possible because Hawaiians, prior to European contact, had learned the ecological limits of their islands and how to live sustainably within them. Today, Hawaii is experiencing a surge of new strategies that make living in the islands more ecologically, economically, and socially resilient. A vibrant native agriculture movement helps feed Hawaiians with traditional foods, and employs local farmers using traditional methods; efforts at green homebuilding help provide healthy, comfortable housing that exists in better harmony with the environment; efforts to recycle wastewater help reduce stress on fragile freshwater resources; school gardens help feed families and reconnect them with local food and farming. At the same time, many of the people who have developed these strategies find that their processes reflect, and in some cases draw from, the lessons learned by Hawaiians over thousands of years. This collection of case studies is a road map to help other isolated communities, island and mainland, navigate their own paths to sustainability, and establishes Hawaii as a model from which other communities can draw inspiration, practical advice, and hope for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Bill Graves and photographer Jim Amos traveled the Aloha State for months, surveying the charms of America's mid-Pacific outpost. The Hawaiian archipelago consists of eight major islands, and 129 lesser islands and islets. For nearly two centuries they have formed a bridge between East and West, first settled by Polynesians, and now routinely inundated by wave after wave of tourists. The tourists, and the infrastructure to house and amuse them are wreaking havoc on the islands ecology, as the very beauty that attracts them is being destroyed by development at an ever increasing pace. The authors explore this unique environment, taking readers along on their fascinating journey.
