It vividly demonstrates one of the values of Hawai‘i: it is blessed with many gifted writers. . . . The pages of this book express a palpable desire to speak unpretentiously and sincerely about what it means to do good in Hawai‘i and for Hawai‘i’s people. Perhaps the most powerful recurrent message in this collection is that ka ‘āina (the land) is an active force in the life of Hawai‘i, and that any person and any movement that seeks to make a better and more just Hawai‘i must center ‘āina in their thought and action. . . . By refraining from intervening strongly in the text, while providing the reader with a variety of viewpoints, the editors provide a context for reading each piece, wisely making this book a space for reflection. -- David Chang, Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS), 3:1 About the Author Aiko Yamashiro is a poet, a founding editor of Vice-Versa, a graduate student in English, and an instructor of de/anti-colonial literature of Hawai‘i.
