In The Power of the Steel-tipped Pen Noenoe K. Silva reconstructs
the indigenous intellectual history of a culture where-using
Western standards-none is presumed to exist. Silva examines the
work of two lesser-known Hawaiian writers-Joseph Ho'ona'auao
Kanepu'u (1824-ca. 1885) and Joseph Moku'ohai Poepoe (1852-1913)-to
show how the rich intellectual history preserved in
Hawaiian-language newspapers is key to understanding Native
Hawaiian epistemology and ontology. In their newspaper articles,
geographical surveys, biographies, historical narratives,
translations, literatures, political and economic analyses, and
poetic works, Kanepu'u and Poepoe created a record of Hawaiian
cultural history and thought in order to transmit ancestral
knowledge to future generations. Celebrating indigenous
intellectual agency in the midst of US imperialism, The Power of
the Steel-tipped Pen is a call for the further restoration of
native Hawaiian intellectual history to help ground contemporary
Hawaiian thought, culture, and governance.
