In the context of two hundred years of American colonial control in
the Pacific, Katherine Irwin and Karen Umemoto shed light on the
experiences of today's inner city and rural girls and boys in
Hawai'i who face racism, sexism, poverty, and political neglect.
Basing their book on nine years of ethnographic research, the
authors highlight how legacies of injustice endure, prompting teens
to fight for dignity and the chance to thrive in America, a nation
that the youth describe as inherently "jacked up"-rigged-and
"unjust." While the story begins with the youth battling multiple
contingencies, it ends on a hopeful note with many of the teens
overcoming numerous hardships, often with the guidance of
steadfast, caring adults.
