It effectively amplifies the voices of those most knowledgeable and does not shy away from harsh facts and truths that are often glossed over. "By collecting the stories of Kanaka, this guide educates its readers with rich, wise primary sources. will give them perfect examples of ways to reapproach tourism and travel-in other words, to decolonize their experience." "If you know a particularly intuitive traveler, someone who wants to find the hidden histories of a place, the guidebook Detours: A Decolonial Guide to Hawai'i.
Detours is valuable not only to those studying Hawai?i, but more broadly to scholars of indigenous studies and anyone interested in the colonial legacies of tourism. "This important book challenges readers to think critically about the violence of colonialism that is expressed through tourism. As a collective, the stories demonstrate how readers can learn about Hawaii beyond the veneer of tourism, and approach the island-state in a way that honors and reduces harm to the local cultures and communities."-Crystal Paul "Seattle Times" ( 12:00:00 AM) "The stories, art and ideas collected in Detours are a guide to the contributors' connections to Hawaii. hoping to reach those who intend to become better guests, even if they're in the minority."-Bani Amor "Fodor's Travel" " seeks to flip travel writing's static script, telling tourists that they are not entitled to all things Hawaiian because the Hawai'i of their imagination is obliterating the Hawai'i of Kanaka Maoli. Kehaulani Kauanui, author of "Paradoxes of Hawaiian Sovereignty: Land, Sex, and the Colonial Politics of State Nationalism" "This brilliant and beautiful collection-which features interviews, personal essays, collaborative pieces with community elders, family histories, and more-is a rich ethical project that offers so much for so many.

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.Ĭontributors.
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. 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. Many people first encounter Hawai'i through the imagination-a postcard picture of hula girls, lu'aus, and plenty of sun, surf, and sea.
