Index
David A. Chang (Native Hawaiian) is associate professor of
history at the University of Minnesota. He is the author of The
Color of the Land: Race, Nation, and the Politics of Land Ownership
in Oklahoma, 1832–1929.
"In The World and All the Things upon It, David A. Chang places
Hawai‘i, both literally and figuratively, at the center of the
world. His fascinating explorations of Kanaka Maoli histories
throughout the nineteenth-century Pacific puts Hawaiian studies in
powerful conversation with some of the most exciting and rapidly
changing fields of historical inquiry across this vast
region."—Coll Thrush, author of Indigenous London: Native
Travellers at the Heart of Empire"David A. Chang's research and
analysis is fresh and makes an outstanding and vital contribution
to our knowledge. The World and All the Things upon It is a work of
aloha ‘āina, love of the land and our native people."—Noenoe Silva,
University of Hawai‘i
"Chang not only provides a voice to the history of the Hawaiian
people, he also enriches the understanding of world history and
global exploration by revealing ways that local peoples globalized
their own world. Highly recommended."—CHOICE"Chang’s work adds to
the growing studies of indigenous geographies and to the fields of
Hawaiian history and world history, challenging readers to rethink
global encounters by centering such encounters on the perspectives
and systems of knowledge of Kanaka Maoli."—Journal of Native
American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS)
"Chang makes arguments that are supported by strong research. Chang
identifies his book as belonging to part of a larger group of
scholars like Noenoe Silva who are pushing against the traditional
colonial versions of history that focus on the colonizer." —Pacific
