"A Nation Rising" chronicles the political struggles and grassroots
initiatives collectively known as the Hawaiian sovereignty
movement. Scholars, community organizers, journalists, and
filmmakers contribute essays that explore Native Hawaiian
resistance and resurgence from the 1970s to the early 2010s.
Photographs and vignettes about particular activists further bring
Hawaiian social movements to life. The stories and analyses of
efforts to protect land and natural resources, resist community
dispossession, and advance claims for sovereignty and
self-determination reveal the diverse objectives and strategies, as
well as the inevitable tensions of the broad-tent sovereignty
movement. The collection explores the Hawaiian political ethic of
ea, which both includes and exceeds dominant notions of state-based
sovereignty. "A Nation Rising" raises issues that resonate far
beyond the Hawaiian archipelago, issues such as Indigenous cultural
revitalization, environmental justice, and demilitarization.

In 1999, Noelani Goodyear-Ka‘ōpua was among a group of young
educators and parents who founded Hālau Kū Māna, a secondary
school that remains one of the only Hawaiian culture-based charter
schools in urban Honolulu. The Seeds We Planted tells the story of
Hālau Kū Māna against the backdrop of the Hawaiian struggle for
self-determination and the U.S. charter school movement, revealing
a critical tension: the successes of a school celebrating
indigenous culture are measured by the standards of settler
colonialism. How, Goodyear-Ka‘ōpua asks, does an indigenous
people use schooling to maintain and transform a common sense of
purpose and interconnection of nationhood in the face of forces of
imperialism and colonialism? What roles do race, gender, and place
play in these processes? Her book, with its richly descriptive
portrait of indigenous education in one community, offers practical
answers steeped in the remarkable—and largely
suppressed—history of Hawaiian popular learning and literacy.
This uniquely Hawaiian experience addresses broader concerns about
what it means to enact indigenous cultural–political resurgence
while working within and against settler colonial structures.
Ultimately, The Seeds We Planted shows that indigenous education
can foster collective renewal and continuity.
Indian Subjects: Hemispheric Perspectives on the History of
Indigenous Education brings together an outstanding group of
anthropology, history, law, education, literature, and Native
studies scholars. This book addresses indigenous education
throughout different regions and eras, predominantly within the
twentieth century. Many of the contributors have tackled the
boarding school experiences of their communities. The histories of
these boarding schools, whether run by the federal government or
religious orders, dominate academic and community views of
indigenous education, and the lessons learned demonstrate the
devastating impact of colonialism and assimilation efforts just as
they document multiple Native responses. The lessons from these
histories in the United States and Canada have been valuable, but
provide a fairly narrow view of indigenous educational history.
Indian Subjects pushes beyond that history toward hemispheric and
even global conversations, fostering a critically neglected
scholarly dialogue that has too often been limited by regional and
national boundaries.
Na Wahine Koa: Hawaiian Women for Sovereignty and Demilitarization
documents the political lives of four wahine koa (courageous
women): Moanike'ala Akaka, Maxine Kahaulelio, Terrilee
Keko'olani-Raymond, and Loretta Ritte, who are leaders in Hawaiian
movements of aloha 'aina. They narrate the ways they came into
activism and talk about what enabled them to sustain their
involvement for more than four decades. All four of these warriors
emerged as movement organizers in the 1970s, and each touched the
Kaho'olawe struggle during this period. While their lives and
political work took different paths in the ensuing decades-whether
holding public office, organizing Hawaiian homesteaders, or
building international demilitarization alliances-they all
maintained strong commitments to Hawaiian and related broader
causes for peace, justice, and environmental health into their
golden years. They remain koa aloha 'aina-brave fighters driven by
their love for their land and country. The book opens with an
introduction written by Noelani Goodyear-Ka'opua, who is herself a
wahine koa, following the path of her predecessors. Her insights
into the role of Hawaiian women in the sovereignty movement, paired
with her tireless curiosity, footwork, and determination to listen
to and internalize their stories, helped produce a book for anyone
who wants to learn from the experiences of these fierce Hawaiian
women. Combining life writing, photos, news articles, political
testimonies, and other movement artifacts, Na Wahine Koa offers a
vivid picture of women in the late twentieth- and early
twenty-first-century Hawaiian struggles. Their stories illustrate
diverse roles 'Oiwi women played in Hawaiian land struggles,
sovereignty initiatives, and international peace and
denuclearization movements. The centrality of women in these
movements, along with their life stories, provide a portal toward
liberated futures.
That Indonesia's ongoing occupation of West Papua continues to be
largely ignored by world governments is one of the great moral and
political failures of our time. West Papuans have struggled for
more than fifty years to find a way through the long night of
Indonesian colonization. However, united in their pursuit of
merdeka (freedom) in its many forms, what holds West Papuans
together is greater than what divides them. Today, the Morning Star
glimmers on the horizon, the supreme symbol of merdeka and a
cherished sign of hope for the imminent arrival of peace and
justice to West Papua. Morning Star Rising: The Politics of
Decolonization in West Papua is an ethnographically framed account
of the long, bitter fight for freedom that challenges the dominant
international narrative that West Papuans' quest for political
independence is fractured and futile. Camellia Webb-Gannon's
extensive interviews with the decolonization movement's original
architects and its more recent champions shed light on complex
diasporic and intergenerational politics as well as social and
cultural resurgence. In foregrounding West Papuans' perspectives,
the author shows that it is the body politic's unflagging
determination and hope, rather than military might or influential
allies, that form the movement's most unifying and powerful force
for independence. This book examines the many intertwining strands
of decolonization in Melanesia. Differences in cultural performance
and political diversity throughout the region are generating new,
fruitful trajectories. Simultaneously, Black and Indigenous
solidarity and a shared Melanesian identity have forged a
transnational grassroots power-base from which the movement is
gaining momentum. Relevant beyond its West Papua focus, this book
is essential reading for those interested in Pacific studies,
Native and Indigenous studies, development studies, activism, and
decolonization.
Found in Translation is a rich account of language and shifting
cross-cultural relations on a Christian mission in northern
Australia during the mid-twentieth century. It explores how
translation shaped interactions between missionaries and the
Anindilyakwa-speaking people of the Groote Eylandt archipelago and
how each group used language to influence, evade, or engage with
the other in a series of selective "mistranslations." In
particular, this work traces the Angurugu mission from its
establishment by the Church Missionary Society in 1943, through
Australia's era of assimilation policy in the 1950s and 1960s, to
the introduction of a self-determination policy and bilingual
education in 1973. While translation has typically been an
instrument of colonization, this book shows that the ambiguities it
creates have given Indigenous people opportunities to reinterpret
colonization's position in their lives. Laura Rademaker combines
oral history interviews with careful archival research and
innovative interdisciplinary findings to present a fresh,
cross-cultural perspective on Angurugu mission life. Exploring
spoken language and sound, the translation of Christian scripture
and songs, the imposition of English literacy, and Aboriginal
singing traditions, she reveals the complexities of the encounters
between the missionaries and Aboriginal people in a subtle and
sophisticated analysis. Rademaker uses language as a lens, delving
into issues of identity and the competition to name, own, and
control. In its efforts to shape the Anindilyakwa people's beliefs,
the Church Missionary Society utilized language both by teaching
English and by translating Biblical texts into the native tongue.
Yet missionaries relied heavily on Anindilyakwa interpreters, whose
varied translation styles and choices resulted in an unforeseen
Indigenous impact on how the mission's messages were received. From
Groote Eylandt and the peculiarities of the Australian
settler-colonial context, Found in Translation broadens its scope
to cast light on themes common throughout Pacific mission history
such as assimilation policies, cultural exchanges, and the
phenomenon of colonization itself. This book will appeal to
Indigenous studies scholars across the Pacific as well as scholars
of Australian history, religion, linguistics, anthropology, and
missiology.
