Poetry. In an expanded edition of the first book of poetry by an indigenous Hawaiian to be published in North America, Haunani-Kay Trask describes the wounded beauty and the fiery origins of her native land. Through Trask's eyes we see a Hawai'I of living contradictions. Strange unscented trees from Asia, ill-clothed people, and miles of wire coexist alongside new-born stone, little sparkling fish, and long spears of moonlight. [Trask] carries us on a path that begins with the violence of dispossession and stolen lives, and takes us through that plundered world into a present where the women gods rise up, strong and resilient, where life is defende 'with a spear of memory' -- Linda Hogan.

Light in the Crevice Never Seen, Revised Edition

Few people would associate the island paradise of Hawai‘i with protest, but there is a long island tradition of speaking out against civil and social injustices, political wrongs and environmental issues. In Kû‘ç: Thirty Years of Land Struggle in Hawai‘i, photographer Ed Greevy has documented social and political events concerning eviction struggles and the development of the Hawaiian Sovereignty movement from 1971 to the present. Haunani-Kay Trask, an activist and sovereignty leader, provides the words to describe the events. Kû‘ç chronicles the unsung heroes who organized and participated in events such as Save Our Surf, Kalama Valley, Wai‘ahole and Waikane valleys, Niumalu and Nawiliwili, Chinatown, He‘eia, Stop H-3 Freeway, Makua, Mokauea Island, Sand Island, Protect Kaho‘olawe ‘Ohana, Stop All Evictions, Anti-Apartheid, and Anti-war in Iraq.

This seminal collection of essays provides a devastating portrait of the condition of Native America. From chronicling the genocide committed by European invaders, to exposing the insidious means by which contemporary politicians and academics perpetuate the physical and cultural destruction of American Indians, Churchill’s incisive analysis and carefully documented critique comprise a demand for action. These 18 essays serve as an excellent overview of the breadth and depth of Churchill’s scholarship.
