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
Kānepu‘u (1824–ca. 1885) and Joseph Moku‘ōhai 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, Kānepu‘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.
