This is our 3rd Paakea Podcast featuring the newest Women Studies Faculty member at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Dr. Lani Teves! In this podcast, she talks about her book, Defiant Indigeneity: The Politics of Hawaiian Performance, her new research on a Kanaka performer from the diaspora, and talks a little Hip Hop with your host. She also talks about the importance of the diaspora and why we should engage with scholarship by Kanaka from and in the diaspora within the broader field of Hawaiian studies.
