Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would you like to learn the history of Hawaiʻi, and get to know its culture and traditions through the convenience of a book? This one has it all: photographs, stories, and history, all told by a traveler who wanted to study that firsthand. What she compiled is a fun way to learn about Hawaiʻi, the result of her own, self-taught course about the Islands. It includes a bibliography and a glossary of Hawaiian words and phrases at the end, complete with a pronunciation key. As a bonus, the names, addresses, phone numbers, and websites of the places she visited are listed in the bibliographies of both San Francisco - a stop along the way to Hawaiʻi - and for Hawaiʻi itself. Here is a brief summary of the fun described in this travelogue: In October of 2012, the author and her parents took a trip to Hawai‘i, visiting O‘ahu and the Big Island. They stayed at a beautiful resort on O‘ahu called Ko Olina, which means “to be filled with happiness” in the Hawaiian language. They toured historic sites - ‘Iolani Palace in Honolulu and Hulihe‘e Palace in Kailua-Kona. They visited the dead sailors aboard the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial. They took a ride in an electric submarine in the waters off Waikiki. They drove down Saddle Road between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island, and then down Chain of Craters Road to see where Kilauea had erupted over the pavement and into the Pacific Ocean. They tasted Kona coffee and saw how it was grown, harvested, dried, and roasted. They attended a hokey lu‘au on O‘ahu and a wonderfully educational one on the Big Island. They walked through a tropical garden on each of the Islands that they visited, looking at orchids, butterflies, palm trees, macadamia trees, and cannonball trees. In short, the author led her parents on a fascinating tour of Hawaiian history, language, music, cuisine, culture, botany, zoology, and volcanology. It was the trip of a lifetime. After all, one can never taste, smell, hear, see, or touch enough of the paradise that is Hawai‘i.

Download or read book Detours written by Hokulani K. Aikau and published by Duke University Press Books. This book was released on 2019-11-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people first encounter Hawai‘i through the imagination—a postcard picture of hula girls, lu‘aus, and plenty of sun, surf, and sea. While Hawai‘i is indeed beautiful, Native Hawaiians struggle with the problems brought about by colonialism, military occupation, tourism, food insecurity, high costs of living, and climate change. In this brilliant reinvention of the travel guide, artists, activists, and scholars redirect readers from the fantasy of Hawai‘i as a tropical paradise and tourist destination toward a multilayered and holistic engagement with Hawai‘i's culture and complex history. The essays, stories, artworks, maps, and tour itineraries in Detours create decolonial narratives in ways that will forever change how readers think about and move throughout Hawai‘i. Contributors.

Download or read book Paradise in the Pacific The Life Culture Kings and History of Hawaii and Honolulu Seen Firsthand by a Traveller to the Hawaiian Islands in written by William R. Bliss and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-08-17 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William R. Bliss, a writer who visited Hawaii in the 1870s, wrote this evocative and vivid account of life on the island; how the native people lived day-to-day and traded with the Americans with whom they became close. An excellent account of historic Hawaii, Paradise in the Pacific offers a detailed and clear portrait of how life was. Bliss is keen to brief the reader on the history of the isles; particularly its kings, and how the peoples arrived and settled in what were then termed the 'Sandwich Islands'. Bliss demonstrates that all parts of Hawaii's culture, from its festivals to its courtrooms to its domestic life, are affected by old beliefs. The author seeks accuracy; the darker side of Hawaiian life, such as the segregated villages where leprosy is prominent, receive mention. Volcanic eruptions and destruction which changed the landscape are discussed. Lightheartedly, we hear about the islands' politics; disputatious yet lively, with populism and appeals to traditional values commonplace.
