CenterFive scholar/activists confront
the myth of statehood in Hawai'i and present the complexity of Hawai'i's
relationship with the United States in the world
today.This year marks the 50th
anniversary of Hawai'i statehood, a landmark event that suggests hula dancing,
parades, and luaus. On the contrary, the subject of statehood is a highly
controversial one and this panel will introduce the history, struggle, and
perspective on independence and
decolonization.A free event sponsored by
Visual Communications as part of their Silver Jubilee Asian Pacific film
festival in Los Angeles, April 30-May 07
