Asian Settler Colonialism is a groundbreaking collection that examines the roles of Asians as settlers in Hawai‘i. Contributors from various fields and disciplines investigate aspects of Asian settler colonialism to illustrate its diverse operations and impact on Native Hawaiians. Essays range from analyses of Japanese, Korean, and Filipino settlement to accounts of Asian settler practices in the legislature, the prison industrial complex, and the U.S. military to critiques of Asian settlers’ claims to Hawai‘i in literature and the visual arts.
Takes a candid and necessary look at indigenous views of Asian settlement in Hawai'i over the past century. - Yuri Kochiyama, civil rights activist ""A valuable resource not only for Asian Americans in Hawai'i but for all scholars and activists grappling with issues of social justice in other 'settler' societies, most notably the continental U.S."" - Glenn Omatsu, California State University, Northridge ""This book is about Hawai'i, but it holds profound implications for settler societies everywhere."" - Patrick Wolfe, La Trobe University, Australia
