*cries in Hawaiian*
Heartbreaking story written in free form poetry set during the nineteenth century of the Hawaiian islands. Read this for my US Imperialism class, and it really was an eye opening read. Not a lot of books are written about native Hawaiians, and this one really captures the beauty of their indigenous culture and all that they lost following the European and American annexations/colonialism.
And it’s really sad, guys. It’s late and I don’t have much to say but I’ll be crying about it in class on Monday…again.
