http://schema.org/description

  • "This article is both a description and an exploration of the place of activist women in the indigenous, nationalist political movement of Native Hawaiians. The analysis is rooted in the author's own experiences, but significant larger connections are made with the development and power of political women in general. Insights from contemporary feminist theory are applied toward an understanding of the many conflicting conditions under which activist women participate in indigenous struggles. Questions are raised about the relationship between feminist and nationalist struggles in the day-to-day living through of those struggles. The author argues that how we feel about our political commitments is as crucial as how we enact them, and in turn, how they merge with other commitments to redirect us. She concludes with the judgment that indigenous women must fight for their own liberation as women even as they fight for the liberation of their people. Her attempt, through a single example, shows just how difficult that imperative can be."
