The Place of Hawai'i in American Studies
Friday, May 8, "The Place of Hawai'i in American
Studies" series is putting on an event at the Center
For Hawaiian Studies at UH-Manoa. David
Stannard will be giving a keynote address for this event, and there is
a panel called "Colonial Citizens: Discussion on the Legacy of Hawai'i
Statehood." Karen Kosasa, Dean Saranillio and Keala Kelly are on the panel. The
event begins at 3:00 p.m.[Personal note:
I majored in American Studies (and English) at Tufts and perhaps somewhat
ironically, when I returned to Hawaii after graduation it really helped me
understand Hawaiian history from a Hawaiian viewpoint, and gave me some good
perspectives and tools to do the work I have done supporting the independence
movement as well as other cultural/environmental work on the community/ahupua'a
level.]
