A review by nothingnew
Hawaii One Summer by Maxine Hong Kingston

1.5

Haole woman, who writes vastly incorrect and offensive things about locals, Hawaiians, the ‘Āina, and culture, writes about feeling guilty about feeling like an outsider. Maybe you wouldn’t be an outsider if you thought deeply about culture instead of glossing over it and so confidently writing things that would make no sense to anyone who has spent time in Hawai’i and has an ounce of critical thinking and curiosity.
