Aloha Compadre: Latinxs in Hawaiʻi is the first book to examine
the collective history and contemporary experiences of the Latinx
population of Hawaiʻi. This study reveals that contrary to popular
discourse, Latinx migration to Hawaiʻi is not a recent event. In
the national memory of the United States, for example, the Latinx
population of Hawaiʻi is often portrayed as recent arrivals and
not as long-term historical communities with a presence that
precedes the formation of statehood itself. Historically speaking,
Latinxs have been voyaging to the Hawaiian Islands for over one
hundred and ninety years. From the early 1830s to the present, they
continue to help shape Hawaiʻi’s history, yet their
contributions are often overlooked. Latinxs have been a part of the
cultural landscape of Hawaiʻi prior to annexation, territorial
status, and statehood in 1959. Aloha Compadre also explores the
expanding boundaries of Latinx migration beyond the western
hemisphere and into Oceania.
