The first collection by Samoan writer and painter Dan Taulapapa McMullin, the poems evoke both intimate conversations and provocative monologues that allow him to explore the complexities of being a queer Samoan in the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMcMullin seamlessly flows between exposing the ironies of Tiki kitsch-inspired cultural appropriation and intimate snapshots of Samoan people and place. In doing so, he disrupts popular notions of a beautiful Polynesia available for the taking, and carves out new avenues of meaning for Pacific Islanders of Oceania. Throughout the collection, McMullin illustrates various manifestations of geopolitical, cultural, linguistic, and sexual colonialism. His work illuminates the ongoing resistance to colonialism and the remarkable resilience of Pacific Islanders and queer-identified peoples. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMcMullin's Fa'a Fafine identity--the ability to walk between and embody both the masculine and feminine--creates a grounded and dynamic voice throughout the collection. It also fosters a creative dialogue between Fa'a Fafine people and trans-Indigenous movements. Through a uniquely Samoan practice of storytelling, McMullin contributes to the growing and vibrant body of queer Indigenous literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Taulapapa McMullin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816530521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816530526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.80w x 0.30d","brand":"Dan Taulapapa McMullin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992497651967,"sku":"9780816530526","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2bd5735-eba1-4871-8aa2-04c563ccb8cf.jpg?v=1683319264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/coconut-milk-dan-taulapapa-mcmullin-9780816530526","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
