Jane Goodsill

Voices of Hawaii - Volume 2 (eBook, ePUB)

Preserving Island Culture One Story at a Time

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this second volume of her unique anthology of the Islands, Jane Marshall Goodsill shares the stories of those who perpetuate the traditions of the Aloha State-kumu hula and pa'u riders, surfers and scientists, artisans and craftspeople, soldiers and builders, farmers and foresters, and so many others. Each of them has a fascinating tale to tell, from the battlegrounds of old Hawai'i to the golden age of Waikiki to the seminal years of the 20th century Hawaiian Renaissance.

For Jane Marshall Goodsill, Voices of Hawai'i began as a labor of love. A kama'aina accomplished in the art of oral history, she began interviewing Island residents who had known her late father, a partner in a venerable Honolulu law firm.

But avocation soon became vocation. As Goodsill's joy in recording these life stories grew, so too did her pool of subjects: business executives, war veterans and POWs, retired plantation managers, Island entertainers, conservationists, taro farmers, educators, broadcasters, retailers, ranchers, activists, judges, journalists and so many others. Taken together, their oral histories told a fascinating, behind-the-scenes tale of Hawai'i's journey from the World War II era into the 21st century.
