We've much to learn about ourselves, other Islanders here, and the diversity of America.

Pacific Voices Talk Story
Volume three continues this first ongoing book series concerning Pacific Islanders in the mainland today. Why? Because not enough attention is given to Islanders in the Asian Pacific American model. Not enough is "out there" that honestly reveals who we are to others or even to ourselves. In this volume, Islanders from Hawaii to Chuuk to Cook Islands confront their American experience upfront and personal with editor Margo King Lenson, herself a Pacific Islander of Samoan Filipina descent in search of heritage, identity, and meaning in America.
Pacific Voices Talk Story
Vol 2 continues book series of conversations conducted by Pacific Islander Margo King Lenson with other Pacific Islanders living in the mainland. Micronesia, Guam, Fiji, Hawaii, Samoa, and Philippines represent an historical, cultural and emotional ever-presence for interviewees who now consider the mainland home.

Conversion
It would be the death of them both. Brother Sabon, pious servant of the Sun God, could never succumb to the charms of a young witch. He overcomes undead minions, vile cultists and assassins, the evil brood of the Death Goddess, how could his heart fall for an unbelieving, head-strong woman? His church wouldn't allow it, his fight against the forces of darkness would suffer for it, and his closest companions would chastise him. The world is filled with such evil, such danger, how could he dare to think of it, to think of love? The gods will intervene.

Reppin'
From hip-hop artists in the Marshall Islands to innovative multimedia producers in Vanuatu to racial justice writers in Utah, Pacific Islander youth are using radical expression to transform their communities. Exploring multiple perspectives about Pacific Islander youth cultures in such locations as Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, Hawai‘i, and Tonga, this cross-disciplinary volume foregrounds social justice methodologies and programs that confront the ongoing legacies of colonization, incarceration, and militarization. The ten essays in this collection also highlight the ways in which youth throughout Oceania and the diaspora have embraced digital technologies to communicate across national boundaries, mobilize sites of political resistance, and remix popular media. By centering Indigenous peoples’ creativity and self-determination, Reppin’ vividly illuminates the dynamic power of Pacific Islander youth to reshape the present and future of settler cities and other urban spaces in Oceania and beyond.
