Description

Since its publication in 1993, From a Native Daughter, a provocative, well-reasoned attack against the rampant abuse of Native Hawaiian rights, institutional racism, and gender discrimination, has generated heated debates in Hawai'i and throughout the world. This 1999 revised work published by University of Hawai'i Press includes material that builds on issues and concerns raised in the first edition: Native Hawaiian student organizing at the University of Hawai'i; the master plan of the Native Hawaiian self-governing organization Ka Lahui Hawai'i and its platform on the four political arenas of sovereignty; the 1989 Hawai'i declaration of the Hawai'i ecumenical coalition on tourism; and a typology on racism and imperialism. Brief introductions to each of the previously published essays brings them up to date and situates them in the current Native Hawaiian rights discussion.

Critical Reviews

One of the strongest and most influential texts of the sovereignty movement.-- "The Nation"

This book is not for the politically squeamish. It is a blueprint for sovereignty movements that aims at fueling the collective memory of a people.-- "Pacific Affairs"

Impassioned and provocative. . . . A welcome addition to the growing body of literature on indigenism.-- "Publishers Weekly"

Like Hawaii's volcano Kilauea . . . Trask sets off explosions.-- "The New York Times"

Trask's analysis . . . provides a moral and political rationale for Hawaiian self-determination and sovereignty.-- "The Honolulu Advertiser"
