Mixing geology, folklore, music, cultural commentary, and history, this book overturns the customary narrative in which the United States acts upon and dominates Hawai'i. It rejects the premise that continents comprise "natural" states while islands are "tiny spaces," without significance, to be acted upon by continents.
