Recenzje

'Return to Kahiki, as both the title of this book and the kinship intention that informs it, is an important contribution to Oceanic and wider Indigenous scholarship. This book will benefit a wide range of readers, from academic students and teaching staff, to those outside the academy interested in a thoughtful re-framing of Hawaiian relationships in the Pacific.' Hinekura Smith, Journal of New Zealand & Pacific Studies
