FEATURED BOOK

Local Story: The Massie-Kahahawai Case and the Culture of History by John P. Rosa
Call Number: KF224.F685 R67 2014 (Hawaii Pacific)
The Massie-Kahahawai case of 1931-1932 shook the Territory of Hawai'i to its very core. Thalia Massie, a young Navy wife, alleged that she had been kidnapped and raped by "some Hawaiian boys" in Waikiki. A few days later, five young men stood accused of her rape.

Local Story is a close examination of how Native Hawaiians, Asian immigrants, and others responded to challenges posed by the military and federal government during the case's investigation and aftermath. In addition to providing a concise account of events as they unfolded, the book shows how this historical narrative has been told and retold in later decades to affirm a local identity among descendants of working-class Native Hawaiians, Asians, and others--in fact, this understanding of the term "local" in the islands dates from the Massie-Kahahawai case.

Author John P. Rosa is assistant professor of history at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa.
