Ebook About 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.

LOVE IT!The purpose of this book was to give the reader a different perspective of Hawaii than they would normally experience or hear about. This “travel guide” is made up of a mixture of art and literature from artists, activists, and scholars and provides a truly eye-opening perspective of the real Hawaii for readers to learn about. Unless you’re a Native Hawaiian, you only hear about Hawaii as a paradise, a fantasy, a tourist attraction. This book helps us explore Hawaii through the eyes of Native Hawaiians and their generational experiences. I really enjoyed all the different passages in this book because I was able to take a little piece from each of them and formulate a more truthful story about Hawaii than the story we’re sold in the media and travel blogs. Detours provides many different aspects of the history of Hawaii and this approach has proven to be very insightful. We learned about the complex history of the land, culture and people through the different essays, poems and artworks.The art and poems are among the strengths of this book. So much can be portrayed through these art forms that fill the pages of this book. The personal stories are also a strength because they provide different perspectives of the same story, the colonization and exploitation of a beautiful people and land. Personally, I don’t think there was really a weakness. I loved the many different perspectives provided throughout the text and the fact that there was something for everyone, no matter their preference - poem, art, story, essay.One of the things that I learned that really stood out to me can be found on page 24 in the text titled “Only Twenty Ahupua’a Away” by Kamanamaikalani Beamer. The book defines ahupua’a as a “culturally appropriate, ecologically aligned, and place-specific unit with access to diverse resources” (pg 24). Here, I learned about the unique relationship Native Hawaiians had with their land. Beamer describes how Hawaiians have an indigenous knowledge system that developed in relation to the diverse ecosystems of the Hawaiian islands. This benefitted the Oiwi society because they were able to survive and flourish through proper utilization of their land. They had intimate relationships with their land which helped them to properly grow it and grow from it; They survived because of it and it flourished because of their care. It was a two-way street, which is why they called it a relationship. This stood out to me because today we count on street signs and highways to be able to recognize our land. Hawaiians knew their land that well that they were able to locate specific areas and know how to care for them as well.Another thing I learned was about how Larry Ellison, one very rich American, was able to purchase and own his own island. In “Fantasy Island: From Pineapple Plantation to Tourist Plantation on Lana’i,” I learned about how Larry Ellison purchased 98% of the Hawaiian island of Lana’i with $350 million. This was unbelievable to me how one man could, not only be so powerful, but he could own land that technically belonged to no one but the Native Hawaiians who have lived there for centuries. Learning about how he exploits the poor Hawaiians on the island and how his little economy works was very frustrating as well - the fact that almost everything connects right back to Ellison.When reading “Kahale’ala, Halele’a: Fragrant, Joyful Home, A Visit to Anini, Kaua’i” (by Vaugh, Kinney, Fu, Kagawa-Viviani, et al.) I learned, in even more detail, about the degradation that the islands are experiencing. On page 100 we learn that “the reef and coastal resources that once sustained area families with such abundance” are no longer in existence and flourishing like they once were when under the care and presence of Native Hawaiians. There are many passages of Native Hawaiians sharing their experiences with how the land once served them and they served it and how and what it has now transformed into. They state that overfishing along with newer technological advances, along with tourist activities, plastic masks, have played a significant role in the degradation of the land and sea. Warming ocean temperatures, freezers facilitating overharvesting and other potential threats have resulted in this degradation as well.In “Negotiating a Pathway for Tourism” by Malia Akutagawa, I learned of the objectification that Hawaiians experience. This was definitely something I hadn’t considered. In this text, Akutagawa shares their story about a time when American tourists gawked at them saying, “Is that a real Hawaiian?!” As if Malia were only an exotic curiosity for them to admire and stare in awe. Malia describes their experience by saying, “My long hair and brown skin probably epitomized for them that Hawaiian mystique, a king of Polynesian goddess rising out of the sea.” Rather than greet her, they just continued starring.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has any interest in visiting Hawaii, or has, and wants to learn the truth about the people, culture and land. No matter what your preference, there are stories, essays, poems, songs shared, and art that can help you better understand the real Hawaii - not just the Hawaii you watch in movies or see in pictures. I recommend it because we must all learn about the truth about how the sacred lands are continuously exploited by capitalism and we must take from this and be the change we want to see take place in Hawaii. My first impression going through the book was definitely not my final impression. Detours offers its readers an insider point of view to many interesting places one as a tourist would want to learn from. They give the reader a different perspective of Hawaii than you would normally read from other tour books. The book is broken down into three different parts; Wahi Pana/ Storied Places, Hana Lima/ Decolonial Projects and Representations, and Huaka’i/ Tours for Transformation. When you read part one, Storied Places, you will learn about stories behind landmarks you might happen to see during your visit. In part two, Decolonial projects and Representation, provide information on the contributors restoration practices and projects “across the archipelago”. In part three, Tours of Transformation, you will find insight on what contributors and guides are doing to give people a better understanding and potentially form a connection with the places they are learning from. Finally part four, New Mappings, they explore beyond the big eight island we foreigners grow to learn. Editors and contributors as stated are “committed to the project of decolonizing Hawaii and restoring and strengthening the ea of the people of hawaii”. This book has many strengths because they touch on the past, current and future of Hawaii. I personally didn’t find any weaknesses due to the honesty they used when describing how life really has been for some people. Honesty is never a weakness. I found it very interesting that the book highlighted certain words that “captured the tensions of this book”. For example the words “ Aloha”, which is the most recognized word used to promote and market Hawaii. If I have learned one thing about this book is that Hawaiins are naturally very welcoming. As tourists we hear Aloha and we picture a giant welcoming party. When in reality that word means so much more. Due to the fact that hawaiians are naturally welcoming, it leaves room for foreigners to feel like they can do as they please. It broke my heart to read how the authors expressed, “The Aloha we were all raised with is our finest characteristic as a people, but also our greatest vulnerability”. In part one, I also found strengths that they describe the significance of certain places one might see during a visit. Lao for example is considered to be a very sacred place but to an unknowing foreigner, it looks like a simple park. This park once held the battle of Kepaniwai where thousands of warriors lost their lives. This book shares how tourists now use that park for gatherings and even weddings. Personally, I would never feel comfortable getting married at such a place that brought so much pain. By letting more people know of such places I would hope that more people would feel the same. Another strength that stood out to me is the constant effort the Hawainn people have shown to regain decolonization. The Ana Kiole (people’s council) has acted as a guardian for locals. In order to protect their land and limit government control, they have educated themselves in planning and zoning. This leveled the field for them when delaying new development. Contributor, Malia Akutagawa, describes how they stood their ground against touring companies wanting to expand on their island of Moloka’i. Her people saw a need to speak up against such practises because of limited resources and the impact the tourist would have on the island. While directing the Moloka’i Rural Development Project they created the Moloka’i Responsible Tourism Plan, which outlines some suggestions that the locals would like to implement for the companies bringing future tourists. Some of these suggestions included; the preservation and restoration of environment and culture. The suggestions were later drafted into a formal agreement between parties. As outlined, tourists must watch an orientation video illustrating the uniqueness of the island”, Tourists must avoid certain sacred places out of respect, and a percentage of revenues from these tours must be donated back to the island for specific community and conservation projects. I would recommend this book to anyone, not just those planning to visit the island because it is a great tool to better not only your trip, but yourself as well. By educating yourself on ways to keep protecting the island, we can make sure we maintain its beauty for generations to come. I fully enjoyed this book and I will carry the advice I learned with me on my next trip. “It is this fear of being erased, an afterthought in one’s own homeland, the aina (land) being so disfigured and unrecognizable, a place abandoned by the kupuna (ancestors), that evoked these lamentations in my soul”.
