Hawaii Nei brings together three plays by one of Hawaii's finest playwrights. A compassionate portrait of early nineteenth- century Hawaii, \"The Conversion of Kaahumanu\" charts the lives of five women during the traumatic, transforming events that followed Western contact. Set in post-World War II Hawaii, \"Emmalehua\" tells the story of a young Hawaiian woman struggling to preserve a cherished cultural heritage in a world eager to forget the past and embrace the new American dream. Through history, humor, and a whodunnit plot, the past and present collide in \"Ola Na Iwi,\" which explores the issues surrounding the treatment of indigenous human remains. | Hawaii Nei by Victoria Nālani Kneubuhl, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
