{"product_id":"defiant-indigeneity-stephanie-nohelani-teves-9781469640549","title":"Defiant Indigeneity: The Politics of Hawaiian Performance","description":"\"Aloha\" is at once the most significant and the most misunderstood word in the Indigenous Hawaiian lexicon. For Kānaka Maoli people, the concept of \"aloha\" is a representation and articulation of their identity, despite its misappropriation and commandeering by non-Native audiences in the form of things like the \"hula girl\" of popular culture. Considering the way aloha is embodied, performed, and interpreted in Native Hawaiian literature, music, plays, dance, drag performance, and even ghost tours from the twentieth century to the present, Stephanie Nohelani Teves shows that misunderstanding of the concept by non-Native audiences has not prevented the Kānaka Maoli from using it to create and empower community and articulate its distinct Indigenous meaning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Native Hawaiian artists, activists, scholars, and other performers have labored to educate diverse publics about the complexity of Indigenous Hawaiian identity, ongoing acts of violence against Indigenous communities have undermined these efforts. In this multidisciplinary work, Teves argues that Indigenous peoples must continue to embrace the performance of their identities in the face of this violence in order to challenge settler-colonialism and its efforts to contain and commodify Hawaiian Indigeneity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Nohelani Teves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469640546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469640549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Stephanie Nohelani Teves","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013940261119,"sku":"9781469640549","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_587a3b9d-54fa-44ff-b9c1-e1a8ad97a56b.jpg?v=1767745723","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/defiant-indigeneity-stephanie-nohelani-teves-9781469640549","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
