Sustainable tourism should not be limited to environmental
preservation; the sociocultural and economic sides should also be
considered. There is a need for an integrated approach recognizing
the resources, facilities, and infrastructures that are
interrelated with the social, cultural, and natural environment.
Community development becomes a reality only by merging the
principles of sustainability with growth objectives. Even though
investments in environmentally friendly infrastructure and related
services are fundamental, there is a need to address gender
inequalities, exploitation, and commercialization of culture.
Further, there is a need to prioritize the link between tourism and
poverty reduction. Inclusive Community Development Through Tourism
and Hospitality Practices explores various viable strategies for
the adoption of sustainable approaches that can eventually boost
economic growth and poverty reduction all over the world. Covering
topics such as international tourism, sustainable development, and
tourism reinforcement, this premier reference source is an
excellent resource for business leaders and managers, students and
educators of higher education, community leaders, government
officials, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
Hulihia" refers to massive upheavals that change the landscape,
overturn the normal, reverse the flow, and sweep away the
prevailing or assumed. We live in such days. Pandemics. Threats to
Ê»Äina. Political dysfunction, cultural appropriation, and
disrespect. But also powerful surges toward sustainability,
autonomy, and sovereignty. The first two volumes of The Value of
Hawai'i (Knowing the Past, Facing the Future and Ancestral Roots,
Oceanic Visions) ignited public conversations, testimony, advocacy,
and art for political and social change. These books argued for the
value of connecting across our different expertise and experiences,
to talk about who we are and where we are going. In a world in
crisis, what does Hawai'i's experience tell us about how to build a
society that sees opportunities in the turning and changing times?
As islanders, we continue to grapple with experiences of racism,
colonialism, environmental damage, and the costs of modernization,
and bring to this our own striking creativity and histories for how
to live peacefully and productively together. Steered by the four
scholars who edited the previous volumes, The Value of Hawai'i 3:
Hulihia, the Turning offers multigenerational visions of a
Hawaiʻi not defined by the United States. Community leaders,
cultural practitioners, artists, educators, and activists share
exciting paths forward for the future of Hawai'i, on topics such as
education, tourism and other economies, elder care, agriculture and
food, energy and urban development, the environment, sports, arts
and culture, technology, and community life. These visions ask us
to recognize what we truly value about our home, and offer a wealth
of starting points for critical and productive conversations
together in this time of profound and permanent change.

La Voz De M.A.Y.O: TATA RAMBO is based on the oral history of Ramon
Jaurigue, an orphan and WWII veteran who co-founded the Mexican,
American, Yaqui, and Others (M.A.Y.O.) organization, which
successfully lobbied the Tucson City Council to improve living and
working conditions for members of the Pascua Yaqui tribe. Thanks to
this period of activism, the Yaquis were federally recognized as
one of the remaining Native American tribes. Meanwhile Ramon's home
life suffered as his focus was pulled from family to wider
community, and from domesticity to the adrenaline of the campaign.
A resonant, neglected slice of American history is told for the
first time with art by J. GONZO, letter art by BERNARDO BRICE,
edited by CLAIRE NAPIER, and LA VOZ DE M.A.Y.O boasts a script by
HENRY BARAJAS the great-grandson of Ramon Jaurigue, a.k.a. Tata
Rambo.
