Legendary Hawai'i and the politics of place

"Hawaiian legends figure greatly into the image of tropical paradise that has come to represent Hawai'i in popular imagination. But what are we buying into when we read these stories as texts in English-language translations? This is the question that Cristina Bacchilega poses in her examination of the way stories labeled Hawaiian "legends" have been adapted to produce a legendary Hawai'i primarily for non-Hawaiian readers or audiences."--BOOK JACKET.
