Rights, Roots, and Resistance Land and Indigenous (trans) Nationalism in Contemporary Hawaiʻi

Cari Costanzo Kapur

4.9/5 (33851 ratings)

Description:In the dissertation, I examine the ways in which the emergence of the contemporary native Hawaiian nationalist movement has shaped identity formation among Hawai'i's multi-ethnic population. My research results draw on twenty-two months of ethnographic fieldwork on the island of Oahu and incorporate a combination of life narratives, participant observation, legal interpretation, statistical data, and textual analysis. I argue that in the face of indigenous activism, land has become important to identity formation and cultural production for not only native Hawaiians, but also many non-native residents of Hawai'i. I show that the mutual constitution of indigenous and non-indigenous identities in Hawai'i influences both everyday practice and memories about the past. For example, I show that cultural practices deemed in anthropological literature and popular social narratives as self-defining for indigenous peoples, such as traditional agricultural work and native language acquisition, can hold deep personal meaning for non-native people as well. Further, examining collective memory in Hawai'i, I suggest that changing cultural, political, and econ0omic contexts influence the way history is remembered. Specifically, through ethnographies of public spaces intended to celebrate diverse ethnic mi[g]rations to Hawai'i, I argue that at distince historical moments, certain stories from the past become critical to the ability of local residents to develop a sense of belonging in the present. ...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
