• The History and Society of Hawai‘i: Looking Beneath the Surface of the ‘Paradise’

  This course rethinks common images and assumptions about Hawaiʻi, especially those shaped by tourism, and explores aspects of Hawaiian society that are not immediately visible.

By using Hawaiʻi’s history as a lens, the course also considers broader global processes. As a place deeply shaped by colonialism, migration, militarization, and tourism, Hawaiʻi provides a valuable perspective for understanding the modern world. Lecturer: Keaki Matsudaira

  ②World War II and Hawaiʻi — The Experiences of Japanese Americans under Wartime Conditions
  ③Contemporary Hawaiʻi — The Continuity of Colonialism and a Multicultural Society
