Hawai’i est un vivier tout particulièrement riche concernant les liens étroits retrouvés entre culture, environnement, histoire et développement durable. Dans ce mémoire, la transmission des connaissances locales en matière d’environnement sur O’ahu est envisagée à partir de différents thèmes retrouvés tant sur le terrain que dans la littérature. Cette question de base renvoi à un sujet extrêmement vaste et recouvre des questions tant sociales, économiques, politiques, culturelles que sanitaires.
A travers le volontariat, différentes organisations ont pu être rencontrées et les différentes parties des ahupua’a (système hawaiien de gestion des eaux et de division des terres) ont pu être approchées. La question de prendre soin de la terre (Mālama'Āina) et de l’aimer (Aloha'Āina) est indissociable du fait de prendre soin de la communauté, et réciproquement.
Deux thèmes principaux sont relevés, à savoir la santé et le bien-être des Kānaka Maoli (Hawaiiens Natifs) d’une part, et la question de l’éducation et des apprentissages d’autre part. Ceux-ci sont inter-reliés et imbriqués tant dans la pratique que dans la théorie. Les valeurs associées au fait de prendre soin de tout être, vivant ou non, sont abordées en parallèle car elles sont utilisées comme vecteur de transmission tant en matière de santé que d’éducation. La connaissance des lieux, de la culture Hawaiienne ainsi que l’aide à la communauté, notamment à travers le volontariat, les « community-based education » et les « service-learning » sont différents éléments utilisés dans ce processus de transmission. Ceci ayant notamment pour objectif de valoriser la culture et les Natifs eux-mêmes, ainsi que de construire un avenir positif où les jeunes pourront s’engager de façon tangible concernant la gestion de l’environnement et de la communauté. Le fait de valoriser les jeunes et de leur faire prendre conscience de l’immense richesse des connaissances ancestrales ainsi que la connaissance de leur terre sont mis en lien avec la possibilité d’agir au niveau local et communautaire afin de créer, ensemble, une communauté présente et à venir qui soit en accord avec l’ensemble des éléments essentiels à la culture et à ses valeurs. Le but étant un mieux-être et mieux vivre ensemble, en harmonie avec l’ensemble de la communauté, dont l’environnement fait partie intégrante.

"Aloha Compadre: Latinxs in Hawaiʻi is the first book to examine the collective history and contemporary experiences of the Latinx population of Hawaiʻi. This study reveals that contrary to popular discourse, Latinx migration to Hawaiʻi is not a recent event. In the national memory of the United States for example, the Latinx population of Hawaiʻi is often portrayed as recent arrivals and not as long-term historical communities with a presence that precedes the formation of statehood itself. Historically speaking Latinxs have been voyaging to the Hawaiian Islands for over 190 years. From the early 1830s to the present, they continue to help shape Hawaiʻi's history, yet their contributions are often overlooked. Latinxs have thus been a part of the cultural landscape of Hawaiʻi prior to annexation, territorial status, and statehood in 1959. Aloha Compadre also explores the expanding boundaries of Latinx migration beyond the western hemisphere and into Oceania"--

Whitewashing the Movies addresses the popular practice of excluding Asian actors from playing Asian characters in film. Media activists and critics have denounced contemporary decisions to cast White actors to play Asians and Asian Americans in movies such as Ghost in the Shell and Aloha. The purpose of this book is to apply the concept of “whitewashing” in stories that privilege White identities at the expense of Asian/American stories and characters. To understand whitewashing across various contexts, the book analyzes films produced in Hollywood, Asian American independent production, and US-China co-productions. Through the analysis, the book examines the ways in which whitewashing matters in the project of Whiteness and White racial hegemony. The book contributes to contemporary understanding of mediated representations of race by theorizing whitewashing, contributing to studies of Whiteness in media studies, and producing a counter-imagination of Asian/American representation in Asian-centered stories.

Biocultural restoration is a process by which the various connections between humanity and nature, as well as between People and Place are revived to restore the health and function of social-ecological systems. This collection explores the subject of biocultural restoration and does so within the context of Hawaiʻi, the most remote archipelago on the planet. The Hawaiian Renaissance, which started in the 1970s, has led to a revival of Hawaiian language, practices, philosophy, spirituality, knowledge systems, and systems of resource management. Many of the leading Indigenous and local scholars of Hawaiʻi who were born into the time of the Hawaiian Renaissance contributed to this collection. More than a third of the authors are of Indigenous Hawaiian ancestry; each paper had at least one Indigenous Hawaiian author, and several papers had a Hawaiian lead author, making this the largest collection to date of scientific publications authored by Indigenous Hawaiians (Kānaka ʻŌiwi). In addition, the majority of authors are women, and two of the papers had 100 percent authorship by women. This collection represents a new emphasis in applied participatory research that involves academics, government agencies, communities and both private and non-profit sectors.
