Hawaii: Island Paradise
Where East Meets West
Conducted in English
In the land of aloha,
students will explore the history, the diverse multicultural traditions, and
the natural beauty of Hawaii, as described by both native and foreign writers
over the past two centuries. The texts are drawn from a broad variety of
writers, from Captain Cook, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Mark Twain to David
Kalakua and Liliuokalani, from Jack London to Jessica Saiki and John Dominis
Holt, from Barbara Kingsolver to W. S. Merwin and others. Essays,
poems, and stories read in class will come alive as students discover for
themselves the natural wonders that have drawn people from all over the world
to Hawaii, and as they are exposed to the rich cultural and artistic traditions
of this remarkable place through its literature, music, and dance.
