“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.”

for

grappling 

with

“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.”
