No MÄkou ka Mana: Liberating the Nation - Book Launch
October 7, 5:30pm - 7:30pmMānoa Campus, HÄlau o Haumea, KamakakÅ«okalani Center for Hawaiian Studies, 2645 Dole Street
Kamehameha Publishing and HawaiÊ»inuiÄkea School of Hawaiian Knowledge are hosting a book launch to celebrate the publication of Kamanamaikalani Beamer’s “Na MÄkou ka Mana: Liberating the Nation.â€
“Na MÄkou ka Mana†studies the birth, repression and reemergence of a Hawaiian national consciousness. Beamer argues that in building the Hawaiian nation in the 19th-century, the aliÊ»i created a hybrid nation-state to resist colonialism and protect native interests. Beamer says:
"This collection of moÊ»olelo demonstrates aliÊ»i brilliance, courage, and unwillingness to surrender to a foreign hegemonic force. Highlighting the achievement of ancestors frees their spirits and allows us to view our forbears as more than victims. Focusing on the deliberate decisions and accomplishments of the aliÊ»i also empowers ʻŌiwi to continue to control our future and to liberate our minds from previously conceived binaries and limited possibilities.â€
A reception will be followed by an author’s talk and book signing.
Kamanamaikalani Beamer has a PhD in Geography. He is an assistant professor in the Hui ʻĀina Momona program at UH-MÄnoa, serving in the HawaiÊ»inuiÄkea School of Hawaiian Knowledge and in the William S. Richardson School of Law as part of Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law.
