Requests:  0 Summary:  "From their earliest encounters with indigenous Pacific Islanders, white Europeans and Americans asserted an identification with the racial origins of Polynesians, declaring them to be, racially, almost white and speculating that they were of Mediterranean or Aryan descent. In Possessing Polynesians Maile Arvin analyzes this racializing history within the context of settler colonialism across Polynesia, especially in Hawai'i. Arvin argues that a logic of possession through whiteness animates settler colonialism, through which both Polynesia (the place) and Polynesians (the people) become exotic, feminized belongings of whiteness. Seeing whiteness as indigenous to Polynesia provided white settlers with the justification needed to claim Polynesian lands and resources. Understood as possessions, Polynesians were and continue to be denied the privileges of whiteness. Yet, Polynesians have long contested these classifications, claims, and cultural representations, and Arvin shows how their resistance to and refusal of white settler logic have regenerated Indigenous forms of recognition."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 305.89694 Ar Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H 305.89694 Ar Non Circulating   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 305.89694 Arvin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library R -- Hawaiian Reference H 305.89694 Arvin Non Circulating   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 305.89694 Ar Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 305.89694 Ar Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 305.89694 Ar Lost 09/12/2023 Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 305.89694 Ar Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
