In this workshop, Juliet Nebolon will discuss how settler colonialism and militarization simultaneously perpetuated, legitimated, and concealed one another in wartime Hawaiʻi for the purposes of U.S. empire-building across Asia and the Pacific Islands. Participants will then be invited to make connections between this historical period and the present and ongoing colonization of Hawaii by the U.S. military through issues such as RIMPAC, Red Hill, and more.
