ReviewsA compelling and erudite book whose linguistic and methodological range demonstrates that dedication to Indigenous futures is deeply rooted in Native Hawaiian intellectual history. . . [ The Power of the Steel-Tipped Pen ] powerfully brings together close readings, biographical study, and historical contextualization. Silva has produced a major work that demands the attention of all readers committed to Hawaiian history, Hawaiian literature, and Hawaiian studies., A must-read for anyone interested in Hawaiian intellectual history and indigenous studies, this book results from amazing research and work that do not, however, weigh on Silva's clear and cogent writing., Noenoe K. Silva's work provides readers with a deeply meaningful way of studying the past in relation to the present and future. . . . Deeply motivating., Noenoe K. Silva's latest book solidifies her reputation as the leading scholar of Native Hawaiian intellectual history. This book deepens our understanding of the Indigenous knowledges and mentalities that were skillfully transcribed into written form during the nineteenth century. Silva's work connects contemporary and ancient Native Hawaiians in a trajectory of resistance to cultural annihilation, and demonstrates through her research and her own efforts that Native Hawaiian intellectualism is rooted in the concept of Aloha Aina ., Noenoe K. Silva (Kanaka Hawai'i) has published another brilliant and much-needed contribution to several scholarly fields, including intellectual history, indigenous studies, and Hawaiian historiography. . . . This project not only serves to add nuance to scholarly understandings of Hawaii's history by considering the often-ignored archive of Hawaiian-language texts, but, more importantly, contributes to the indigenous sovereignty movement in Hawaii., The Power of the Steel-tipped Pen is the most in-depth exploration of Native Hawaiian intellectual history to be published to date. . . . [It] is likely to join Aloha Betrayed as part of the modern canon of Hawaiian history, as well as provide a potential model for Indigenous intellectual histories in Oceania and elsewhere., One of the ways in which suppressed languages are marginalized is by convincing its users that it is not an adequate basis for intellectual production. Hence the importance of this work: The Power of the Steel-tipped Pen . . . ensures that the young generation have something concrete to help them feel connected to a rich intellectual ancestry. But the work as a whole has a resonance that goes well beyond Hawai'i to other areas in the world where a people are still struggling to decolonize their minds. It is a welcome addition to the global movement for the decolonization of languages and the minds., One of the ways in which a suppressed language is marginalized is by convincing its users that it is not an adequate basis for intellectual production.

SynopsisNoenoe K. Silva creates a model indigenous intellectual history of a culture where--using Western standards--none is presumed to exist by examining the work of two lesser-known Hawaiian language writers from the nineteenth-century whose prolific output across many genres created a record of Native Hawaiian cultural history and thought., In The Power of the Steel-tipped Pen Noenoe K. Silva reconstructs the indigenous intellectual history of a culture where--using Western standards--none is presumed to exist. Silva examines the work of two lesser-known Hawaiian writers--Joseph Ho'ona'auao K?nepu'u (1824-ca. 1885) and Joseph Moku'?hai Poepoe (1852-1913)--to show how the rich intellectual history preserved in Hawaiian-language newspapers is key to understanding Native Hawaiian epistemology and ontology. In their newspaper articles, geographical surveys, biographies, historical narratives, translations, literatures, political and economic analyses, and poetic works, K?nepu'u and Poepoe created a record of Hawaiian cultural history and thought in order to transmit ancestral knowledge to future generations. Celebrating indigenous intellectual agency in the midst of US imperialism, The Power of the Steel-tipped Pen is a call for the further restoration of native Hawaiian intellectual history to help ground contemporary Hawaiian thought, culture, and governance., In The Power of the Steel-tipped Pen Noenoe K.
