“A
masterpiece on decolonization has been written by Haunani
Trask, one of Hawai‘i’s most famous and
fierce Hawai‘i-loving poets. It is called “From
a Native Daughter.” This book is so powerful,
it will change the way you think about Hawai'i and
all lands seized by force, forever.”
—Alice Walker,

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 revised work includes new material
that builds
on issues and concerns raised in the first edition: Native Hawaiian
student organizing at the
University
if Hawai‘i;
the
master plan
of the
Native Hawaiian self-government 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; a typology in racism and imperialism. Brief
introductions
to each of the previously published essays bring them up top
date and situate them in the current Native Hawaiian rights
discussion.
