Journal Article
Aloha America: Hula Circuits through the U.S. Empire
2013
Overview
According to Imada, \"hula circuits\" have woven complicated connections between indigenous culture and the forces of U.S. imperialism both inside and outside of Hawaii, maintaining a sense of Hawaiian culture and nationhood, while at the same time colluding with and normalizing colonial powers and desires. The book is organized more or less chronologically, tracing hula circuits through the institutionalization of hula training in the Hawaiian royal court, to the showcasing of hula through continental and intercontinental tours, hula's representation by military photographers and Hollywood moguls, the \"imperial hospitality\" of the now ubiquitous tourist luau, and the politicization of hula in Hawaiian struggles for self-determination and environmental and antimilitarization protests.
