Recenzii
"Appearing as one of the inaugural volumes in Duke University Presss new Narrating Native Histories series, Hawaiian blood is a triumph of scholarship from an emic perspective and a powerful indictment of the institutionalized form of racialism known as the blood quantum as practised in the United States and especially in Hawaii....Kauanuis is the first work to tie Hawaiian identity to land in this way, helping to provide a legal foundation for ongoing claims to Hawaiian sovereignty as described in her final chapters, and enabling Hawaiians and others to understand better the internal conflicts that have often divided the indigenous community. This highly important study of how natives think and why enriches and challenges us all." Kaori OConnor, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
Hawaiian Blood is an important work that addresses the racialization of Hawaiians in a way that no other work has done. J. Kehaulani Kauanui reveals how the 50-percent blood quantum continues to divide the Native Hawaiian community and how it is affecting current court decisions and legislation. These analyses are crucial for the Hawaiian community as it continues to move to define itself and to exercise self-determination and sovereignty.--Noenoe K. Silva, author of Aloha Betrayed: Native Hawaiian Resistance to American Colonialism
Hawaiian Blood tells a fascinating and important story that has not received sufficient attention in the historical research on Hawaii nor in the work on indigenous peoples more generally. Well written, accessible to students, and sophisticated in its analysis, this book offers provocative new insights and theoretical perspectives on how we think about and use notions of race, blood, and belonging.--Sally Engle Merry, author of Colonizing Hawaii: The Cultural Power of Law
