Talking Hawai'i's Story is the first major book in over a generation to present a rich sampling of the landmark work of Hawai'i's Center for Oral History.
Twenty-nine extensive oral histories introduce readers to the sights and sounds of territorial Waikiki, to the feeling of community in Palama, in Kona, or on the island of Lana'i, and even to the experience of a German national interned by the military government after Pearl Harbor.
The result is a collection that preserves Hawai'i's social and cultural history through the narratives of the people who lived it - co-workers, neighbors, family members, and friends.
An Introduction by Warren Nishimoto and Michi Kodama-Nishimoto provides historical context and information about the selection and collection methods. Photos of the interview subjects accompany each oral history. For further reading, an appendix also provides information about the Center for Oral History's major projects.
Soft cover. 312 pages. Includes black and white photos. Printed in the USA.
I am completely satisfied with the quality and graphic design on some coffee mugs I recently purchased. When I have my morning coffee the pictures of Pearl Harbor remind me of the great price that was paid for liberties that most people take for granted. Being a veteran and coming from a family with many veterans makes me feel even more honored to live in the U.S. Thank you for keeping the memories of our warriors alive.
I was so excited to gift this ornament to my son this year. Shipping took too long and it arrived with the plastic coating crinkled and there was a hole in the ornament.
I’m collecting shot glasses from the 50 states. I was in Hawaii several years ago and wasn’t collecting them at the time. So I had to order it online and they did not disappoint.
We were planning a trip to Hawaii and came across the Pacific Historic Parks website. I noticed that they offer a flag that will be flown on any day of the year. My Son-In-Law lost his Mother & Aunt in a accident on December 7, 2017. I thought this would be an awesome gift in honor of them. I wrote a letter of the circumstances to let them know why this was such a wonderful opportunity to honor a loved one. We gave the Flag to him on Christmas and it was very emotional. It came with a certificate that stated when it was flown and in honor of his Mom and Aunt's names.
I purchased a flag as a gift for my son who is very patriotic. The Flag was flown over the Arizona on December 7, 2025 and arrived in time for Christmas. Communication with the folks at Pacific Parks was exceptional. I had no doubt that the Flag would arrive in time. Thanks for great customer service.
