Faculty Lecture Series Spring 2011
February 9, 3:00pm - 4:30pmManoa Campus, Hamilton Library Room 301
Warren Nishimoto and Michi Kodama-Nishimoto from the Center for Oral History will discuss their book,Talking Hawaii's Story: Oral Histories of an Island People in this faculty lecture.
Talking Hawaii’s Story is the first major book in over a generation to present a rich sampling of the landmark work of Hawaii’s Center for Oral History. Twenty-nine extensive oral histories introduce readers to the sights and sounds of territorial Waikiki, to the feeling of community in Palama, in Kona, or on the island of Lanai, and even to the experience of a German national interned by the military government after Pearl Harbor. The result is a collection that preserves Hawaii’s social and cultural history through the narratives of the people who lived it—co-workers, neighbors, family members, and friends. (UH Press)
