Enlarge image

In The Mana of Translation: Translational Flow in ��ɫ������վian History from the Baibala to the Mauna, Bryan Kamaoli Kuwada makes visible the often unseen workings of translation in ��ɫ������վʻi from the advent of ��ɫ������վian alphabetic literacy to contemporary struggles over language and land. Translation has had a massive impact on ��ɫ������վian history, both as it unfolded and how it came to be understood, yet it remains understudied in ��ɫ������վian and Indigenous scholarship. This particular talk will focus on the refusal to translate and how it shapes understandings of kānaka through the analytics of mana unuhi and unsettlement.
