The Potential That Was in All of Us
The mass incarceration of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II has usually been assessed in terms of devastating economic and property losses, racist profiling, and the abrogation of constitutional rights. However, survivors also claimed incarceration as an experience of individual and collective disablement. In a break from decorum, survivors testified about a range of mental and physical disabilities at the U.S. Commission o…

Lonely Together
During one of the longest and most extensive systems of medical incarceration in modern history (1866–1969), the Hawai‘i Board of Health exiled men, women, and children with leprosy (now known as Hansen’s disease) to a remote settlement on the island of Molokai. Some of these patients had access to cameras and the time to pursue photography, unlike most institutionalized and incarcerated people in the twentieth century. This article discusses sub…
Promiscuous Signification
This essay assesses clinical photographs of leprosy patients created by the Hawai'i Board of Health in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, or what may be the most extensive visual cataloging of indigenous, Asian, and immigrant bodies in America's Pacific empire. Building on theoretical and methodological approaches to archives as a process rather than a source, I follow the trail of these clinical images through time and space, fro…
"Aloha 'Oe"
Hawai'i's most renowned song, "Aloha 'Oe," was composed by Queen Lili'uokalani before she was deposed by missionary settlers. Circulating in the cultural imaginary since the late nineteenth century, "Aloha 'Oe" was transformed from a love song into a dirge that erased the sovereign rights of Lili'uokalani in and beyond Hawai'i. This article theorizes "settler colonial nostalgia" as a gendered material and symbolic process of effecting indigenous …

TransnationalHulaas Colonial Culture
During what was perhaps the first transnational hula tour of North America and Europe between 1892 and 1896, hula performers received sustained attention during a critical period when Hawai'i's political status and proposed annexation by the US was a topic of national and international debate. Given Hawai'i's subordinate economic and political status even prior to formal colonisation in 1898, hula operated as a form of colonial culture that becam…
Hawaiians on Tour
Hawaiians on Tour: Hula Circuits Through the American Empire" discusses how Hawaiian hula performances helped to broker the expansionist needs of the U.S. as Hawai'i was transformed from a minor tropical colony to an American tourist and military stronghold. Hula dancers from Hawai'i began performing across the U.S. continent in middlebrow American nightclubs in the 1930s and 1940s. Heralded in the Hawai'i media as "hula queens" and "cinderellas,…
