Reviews
"""Guevarra situates Hawaiʻi as a centerpiece of the interaction between Asia and Latin America on U.S. soil, from complicating notions of settler colonialism to chronicling the spread of anti-immigrant sentiment in the 'aloha' state to placing cross-racial unions in the broader formation of a 'local' identity. This is a masterpiece in multiracial analysis and writing!""--George J. Sánchez ""author of Becoming Mexican American: Ethnicity, Culture, and Identity in Chicano Los Angeles, 1900-1"" ""You simply will not know the full history and context of Hawai'i without reading Aloha Compadre. Rudy Guevarra has gifted us a must-read book on the lives of Hawai'i's overlooked Latinx communities, who make up over 10% of the population. Through poignant prose and sharp analysis, Guevarra illuminates the movement of Latinx communities across Oceania as they create a Pacific Latinidad.""--Nitasha Tamar Sharma ""author of Hawai'i Is My Haven: Race and Indigeneity in the Black Pacific"""
