In Paradoxes of Hawaiian Sovereignty J. Kehaulani Kauanui examines
contradictions of indigeneity and self-determination in U.S.
domestic policy and international law. She theorizes paradoxes in
the laws themselves and in nationalist assertions of Hawaiian
Kingdom restoration and demands for U.S. deoccupation, which echo
colonialist models of governance. Kauanui argues that Hawaiian
elites' approaches to reforming and regulating land, gender, and
sexuality in the early nineteenth century that paved the way for
sovereign recognition of the kingdom complicate contemporary
nationalist activism today, which too often includes disavowing the
indigeneity of the Kanaka Maoli (Indigenous Hawaiian) people.
Problematizing the ways the positing of the Hawaiian Kingdom's
continued existence has been accompanied by a denial of U.S.
settler colonialism, Kauanui considers possibilities for a
decolonial approach to Hawaiian sovereignty that would address the
privatization and capitalist development of land and the ongoing
legacy of the imposition of heteropatriarchal modes of social
relations.
