About the Author
Dr. Haunani-Kay Trask is a pioneering Native Hawaiian scholar, poet, and activist whose incisive writings have profoundly shaped discourses on indigenous rights, colonialism, and sovereignty. As a professor emerita of Hawaiian Studies at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, she has dedicated her career to amplifying the voices of Pacific Islanders against the backdrop of historical and ongoing oppression. Her work bridges academia and activism, challenging Western narratives and advocating for decolonization. In her seminal book, From a Native Daughter: Colonialism and Sovereignty in Hawaii (Revised Edition) (Latitude 20 Books (Paperback)), Trask confronts the legacies of imperialism in her homeland, blending rigorous analysis with passionate testimony to inspire global movements for justice and self-determination.
