In Forward without Fear Derek Taira reveals that many Native Hawaiians in the first forty years of the territorial period neither subscribed nor succumbed to public schools' aggressive efforts to assimilate and Americanize them but instead engaged with American education to envision and support an alternate future, one in which they could exclude themselves from settler society to maintain their cultural distinctiveness and protect their Indigenous identity. Taira thus places great emphasis on how they would have understood their actions-as flexible and productive steps for securing their cultural sovereignty and safeguarding their future as Native Hawaiians-and reshapes historical understanding of this era as one solely focused on settler colonial domination, oppression, and elimination to a more balanced and optimistic narrative that identifies and highlights Indigenous endurance, resistance, and hopefulness.
Reviews / Votes
"Forward without Fear provides a critical examination of the role of public education in Hawai?i's territorial period. By showing how settler-colonial ideologies were enacted through education policy, Taira also shows how Native Hawaiians were never mere victims of public education but actively engaged, challenged, or used settler forms of education for their own visions of the future. This book will be required reading in Hawaiian history, history of education, and Indigenous studies, among other fields."-Maile Arvin, author of Possessing Polynesians: The Science of Settler Colonial Whiteness in Hawai'i and Oceania "Forward without Fear offers new insights on the multiple ways populations receive, resist, and reimagine schools and schooling as sites of both liberation and oppression. By centering an intricate and much-needed conversation on settler colonialism within a discussion on education, this book is well positioned to be a must-read across fields."-Mirelsie VelAzquez, author of Puerto Rican Chicago: Schooling the City, 1940-1977More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
