How colonization has affected Hawaiians, immigrants, ‘locals’, and transients on the islands of Hawai’i. Why is Hawai’i still perceived as ‘another country’? Why is it that the native people of the islands experience the highest rates of incarceration, health problems, and poverty in a place that is their homeland? How is race and ethnicity constructed and actualized in Hawaii? How has the socioeconomic system impacted by colonization. Examine the socio-historical, political, economic, transnational, and racial impact of how colonization has affected people living in Hawaii today. Course fulfills GE synthesis area D4.
