- Abstract
"Aloha Compadre: Latinxs in Hawai'i" by Rudy P. Guevarra Jr. explores the migration and settlement of Latinx populations in Hawai'i, a group that has been understudied in previous literature. Guevarra uses oral interviews, archival analysis, and ethnography to collect and share the historical and contemporary stories of the Latinx population in Hawai'i. The book addresses the gap in understanding the experiences of Latinx populations in Hawai'i and contributes to the literature on Hawai'i's racial and ethnic context, the Latinx diaspora, and research methodologies. Guevarra emphasizes the importance of context, challenges the narrative of racial harmony in Hawai'i, and highlights the specific colonial history and reality of the Pacific Islands. The book serves as an initiation of the conversation on Latinx populations in Hawai'i and the Pacific, and it is relevant for scholars in various disciplines.
