Description
Years later, as an adult, Nina arrived in Hawai¿i for a year-long hiatus. There, her hoped-for relaxation was waylaid by the apparition of her great-grandmother Waipuilani, of whom she knew nothing. Waipuilani's message was fierce: It was time to delve into the family history that her mother had kept in the shadows.
Don't Call Me Moana: A Daughter Reckons with Her Hawaiian Heritage follows the author as she maps generations of her family's interracial marriages to the colonialist forces that destroyed the indigenous Hawaiian culture and marginalized its inhabitants. Fusing historic research with intuitively imagined truth, she sheds the residue of her racially ambiguous childhood, peels back the veil of "don't ask, don't tell," and lays bare a truth that's been hiding in plain sight-a truth that alters everything she thought she knew about herself as the daughter of a Hawaiian.
