Five Years on a Rock is the story of Sawa Oyama, the mother who plays a major role in All I Asking for Is My Body. In a spirited voice full of courage and wit, Sawa tells of her arrival in Hawaii in 1915 as a seventeen-year-old picture bride. But her hope of returning to Japan after “five years on a rock” wanes as the five years stretch to twenty, during which six children are born, her husband’s fishing business succeeds then fails, and the family debt grows. Overworked and sick with worry, Sawa loses all her teeth and falls deathly ill, the victim, she believes, of someone else’s bachi (divine retribution). She recovers, however, when an aunt dies in her stead, and she returns to her family with renewed vigor and a new set of teeth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUH Press, 1994\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback, 160 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"UH Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33901165740164,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0378\/1161\/7924\/files\/9780824816773-600x917.jpg?v=1784852701"},{"product_id":"all-i-asking-for-body","title":"All I Asking For Is My Body by Milton Murayama","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe most important feature of Milton Murayama’s brilliant \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll I Asking for Is My Body\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis the quality of the storytelling.

Critic Rob Wilson noted: “Part of the accomplishment of the novel is that the language ranges from the vernacular to the literate and standard, and so reflects the cultural and linguistic diversity of Hawaii.” In the novel, Murayama uses standard English and pidgin. In real life, the narrator Kiyo explains, “we spoke four languages: good English in school, pidgin English among ourselves, good or pidgin Japanese to our parents and the other old folks.” The wonder is that Murayama emerged using any one of the languages well.

Catching a wave on the steamer, Ajax, in March, 1866, Twain would spend the next four months in the warmth of the islands' sun. It's pretty clear he had fun, fun, fun, watching the natives dance, dance, dance, but the good vibrations wouldn't last, and before the end of summer arrived, Twain was broke and he had to sail on sailor back home to San Francisco on the sailing vessel Smyrniote. The wild honey feel flow of Hawaii would never leave Twain. Wouldn't it be nice to do it again? Alas, Twain would never return to his surfer girl in Hawaii, but don't worry, baby, except for a severe bout with depression in his heroes and villains later years, he did, God only knows, create a completely new style in American literature, proving he just wasn't made for those times. He would remain a cork in the Pacific ocean for the rest of his life, longing 'til he died for Hawaii's sunny shores; \"the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean.\" -- SGE -- quote by Mark Twain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMutual Publishing; First Thus edition (January 1, 1994)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eMass Market Paperback ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e144 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0935180931\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e978-0935180930\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3.04 ounces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4.5 x 0.5 x 7.25 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mutual Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33901361070212,"sku":"180931","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0378\/1161\/7924\/files\/large_453_Mark-Twain-in-Hawaii-500.jpg?v=1754428192"},{"product_id":"melal-a-novel-of-the-pacific","title":"Melal: A Novel of the Pacific by Robert Barclay","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn Good Friday, 1981, Rujen Keju and his two sons come face to face with their complicated inheritance–one that includes years of atomic testing and the continued military presence of the U.S. in the Pacific.

From the attack on Pearl Harbor to the Pacific War, relocation to Manzanar, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, and the Tokyo war crimes trials, we follow the lives of Kenji, Tadashi, and Isamu Amo, the California-born sons of Japanese immigrants. The eldest, Kenji, must grapple with what it means to belong to two nations at war with one another and to face betrayal by both. Tadashi, in school in Japan when war breaks out, is drafted into the Japanese army and renounces his U.S. citizenship. Later Kenji and Tadashi find themselves on opposite sides of a battlefield in the Philippines; although they both survive the conflict, their relationship is destroyed by the war. Isamu, the youngest and the most thoroughly American of the brothers, loves John Wayne movies and gives his life to rescue the lost Texas battalion fighting in France. Popular Japanese novelist Toyoko Yamasaki spent five years interviewing Japanese-Americans and researching documentary sources to assemble the raw material for her book. Through the story of the Amo family, she forces readers to confront the meaning of “love of country” as her characters encounter prejudice and suspicion on both sides of the Pacific.

His people would remember him as “the Conqueror.” Cut off from the outside world, the Hawaiian people lived in a paradise on earth and fought over it for generations. When strange, pale visitors came from beyond the horizon, the Hawaiians mistook their tall ships for “floating islands” and their leader for one of their gods—returned to them in fulfillment of a prophecy. Metal was almost unknown to them and they marveled at the visitors’ magical iron daggers, axes, muskets, and cannons. One man, Kamehameha, was quick to understand that these newcomers were men. He would use their guns and steel to end centuries of fratricidal warfare and forge a new kingdom at the crossroads of the Pacific Ocean. Bringing a little-understood, historically remote era to life through the actions and words of its memorable characters, Once There Was Fire invites readers to see Hawaii of the mid-18th and early 19th centuries as the old Hawaiians themselves might have seen and experienced it on the cusp of their passage from splendid isolation to the wider world. Once There Was Fire is the story of old Hawaii James Michener never told.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublisher : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePai'ea Press; 1st edition (December 6, 2016)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePaperback : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e562 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-10 : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0692771336\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13 : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e978-0692771334\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem Weight : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.64 pounds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6 x 1.27 x 9 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ingram POD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34050405236868,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0378\/1161\/7924\/products\/image_18ab15ad-eaf8-4827-bf00-a7679458297a.jpg?v=1617785402"},{"product_id":"the-healers-by-kimo-armitage","title":"The Healers by Kimo Armitage","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith roots firmly in the oral storytelling tradition, Kimo Armitage’s\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Healers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eweaves multiple narrators and time periods into a novel of remarkable breadth, giving insight into Hawaiian culture where nature, man, and the spirit world coexist seamlessly.

News of Teaiwa’s death precipitated an extraordinary outpouring of grief unmatched in the Pacific studies community since Epeli Hau‘ofa’s passing in 2009. Mourners referenced Teaiwa’s nurturing interactions with numerous students and colleagues, her innovative program-building at Victoria University of Wellington, her inspiring presence at numerous conferences around the globe, her feminist and political activism, her poetry, her Banaban\/I-Kiribati\/Fiji Islander and African American heritage, and her extraordinary ability to connect and communicate with people of all backgrounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume features a selection of Teaiwa’s scholarly and creative contributions captured in print over a professional career cut short at the height of her productivity. The collection honors her legacy in various scholarly fields, including Pacific studies, Indigenous studies, literary studies, security studies, and gender studies, and on topics ranging from militarism and tourism to politics and pedagogy. It also includes examples of Teaiwa’s poems. Many of these contributions have had significant and lasting impacts.

Teaiwa’s writings about what she dubbed “militourism,” and more recent work on militarization and gender, continue to be very influential.

The call for submissions to this anthology referenced Kilauea's 2018 eruption, a reminder that renewal and erasure are natural law. Work on this book progressed while a global health crisis burgeoned. The collection includes pandemic writing by established local favorites Darrell H. Y. Lum, Juliet S. Kono, R. Zamora Linmark, and award-winning poet and critical care nurse Christy Passion. It also embraces emerging writers, such as Kaua'i High English teacher Jonathon Medeiros, who, when schools closed during the 2020 lockdown, started writing poetry every night with his wife and young daughters. Interspersed with writing by almost forty authors are color images of artwork by four Native Hawaiian artists whose creations range from sculpture and collage to murals and painted trees. Kipuka explores the challenges of growing up and living in contemporary Hawai'i and chronicles historic times.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"When volcanoes erupt, variances in topography create kipuka, islands of turf untouched by the flow of lava. While Pele's fiery rivers caress its borders, its plants and seeds remain. It watches lava cool, then blacken. It witnesses pihoehoe break down into rich volcanic soil. And when the time comes, it seeds its surroundings, sets free former boundaries as genesis and legacy join. Ni kipuka preserve and regenerate. They survive and persist. They anchor and hold life, ensuring in the end that nothing is forgotten. It is in this spirit of what holds us in times of change that we present to you the work of writers and artists who explore and engage where kipuka lies for them.\"--Editors' note\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBamboo Ridge Pr (October 22, 2021)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePaperback ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e288 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1943756058\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e978-1943756056\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e13.6 ounces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6 x 0.75 x 8.75 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bamboo Ridge Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39832268767364,"sku":"SKU: BR-119","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0378\/1161\/7924\/products\/image_3729c8c3-4ad8-4142-b00c-13bd575440ba.jpg?v=1649928831"}],"url":"https:\/\/basically-books-co.myshopify.com\/collections\/hawaii-literature.oembed?page=6","provider":"Basically Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
