“When 
Native 
Hawaiian 
activists 
lash 
out 
against 
Asian 
settler 
colonialism, 
we 
must 
remember 
what 
Malcolm 
X 
said: 
‘The 
conditions 
that 
our 
people 
suffer 
are 
extreme, 
and 
an 
extreme 
illness 
cannot 
be 
cured 
with 
moderate 
medicine.’ 
This 
book 
takes 
a 
candid 
and 
necessary 
look 
at 
indigenous 
views 
of 
Asian 
settlement 
in 
Hawai‘i 
over 
the 
past 
century.”

“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.”

“This 
book 
is 
about 
Hawai‘i, 
but 
it 
holds 
profound 
implications 
for 
settler 
societies 
everywhere. 
In 
these 
societies, 
the 
fundamental 
social 
divide 
is 
not 
the 
color 
line. 
It 
is 
not 
ethnicity, 
minority 
status, 
or 
even 
class. 
The 
primary 
line 
is 
the 
one 
distinguishing 
Natives 
from 
settlers—that 
is, 
from 
everyone 
else. 
Only 
the 
Native 
is 
not 
a 
settler. 
Only 
the 
Native 
is 
truly 
local. 
Only 
the 
Native 
will 
free 
the 
Native. 
The 
contributors 
to 
this 
landmark 
volume, 
Native 
and 
settler 
alike, 
join 
to 
inscribe 
this 
irreducible 
truth 
with 
force, 
clarity, 
and 
conviction.”
