I had read an article online that pitched this book as an unconventional guidebook for thoughtful travelers who want to go beyond the tourist sights and learn more about Hawaiian culture. I know this is no fault of the book's publisher, editors, or contributing authors, but this book was not quite what I expected. I'll be honest: this one was a bit of a slog for me.

The essays, stories, artworks, maps, and tour itineraries in Detours create decolonial narratives in ways that will forever change how readers think about and move throughout Hawai‘i.Ĭontributors. In this brilliant reinvention of the travel guide, artists, activists, and scholars redirect readers from the fantasy of Hawai‘i as a tropical paradise and tourist destination toward a multilayered and holistic engagement with Hawai‘i's culture and complex history. While Hawai‘i is indeed beautiful, Native Hawaiians struggle with the problems brought about by colonialism, military occupation, tourism, food insecurity, high costs of living, and climate change. Many people first encounter Hawai‘i through the imagination-a postcard picture of hula girls, lu‘aus, and plenty of sun, surf, and sea.
