Voices of Hawai‘i - Vol. 2
Now Available for Pre-Order!
In this second volume of her unique anthology of the Islands, Jane Marshall Goodsill shares the stories of those who perpetuate the traditions of the Aloha State—kumu hula and pā‘u riders, surfers and scientists, artisans and craftspeople, soldiers and builders, farmers and foresters, and so many others. Each of them has a fascinating tale to tell, from the battlegrounds of old Hawai‘i to the golden age of Waikīkī to the seminal years of the 20th century Hawaiian Renaissance. Taken together, these rich anecdotes tell the story of Hawai‘i, offering an inside look at the history and culture of a special place.
How Social Work Changed Hawai‘i
Now Available for Pre-Order!
While social work is most often about helping people cope, its underlying drive is to create a better world. At important moments in Hawai‘i’s history, the hard work of helping others has led to new practices, laws, and social programs, including those uniquely suited to Hawai‘i’s diverse people.
In their journeys, the pioneers and visionaries profiled in these pages — Susan Chandler, Andrew Chang, Clorinda Low Lucas, Patti Lyons, Ah Quon McElrath, Masaru Oshiro, Lynette Paglinawan, Myron B. Thompson — became catalysts of social justice. Through their life stories, they challenge us to ask: Where are we today, and by the standards of their values, what does the future hold?
