Drama. Pacific Island Studies. This book includes four plays written by Hawaiian playwrights that all have been successfully staged in Hawaii over the last ten years. The plays reflect "the new assertiveness in Hawaiian identity as disenchantment with conventional 'politics,'" W. Dennis Carroll, professor, Department of Theatre and Dance, University of Hawaii at Manoa. "He Leo Hou is a powerhouse of entertainment and enlightenment." The introduction by John H.Y. Wat and Meredith M. Desha provides the contextual, social and artistic importance/relevance of the four included plays.
