Book Description
Once a derogatory label derived from the Hawaiian word for half, Hapa is now being embraced as a term of pride by many people of Asian or Pacific Rim mixed-race heritage. Award-winning film producer and artist Kip Fulbeck has created a forum in word and image for Hapas to answer the question they're nearly always asked: "What are you?" Fulbeck's frank, head-on portraits are paired with the sitters' own statements of identity. A work of intimacy, beauty, and powerful self-expression, Part Asian, 100% Hapa is the book Fulbeck says he wishes he had growing up. An introduction to the rest of the world and an affirmation for Hapas themselveswho now number in the millions—it offers a new perspective on a rapidly growing population.

Book Description
Once a fringe phenomenon, tattooing is now a full-blown cultural fact. More than 40 million people in the U.S. alone have tattoos, all with unique stories about why they chose to indelibly mark their bodies. Permanence combines photographic tattoo portraits with these stories, told in the subjects' own words and handwriting. Kip Fulbeck brings together young and old of all races, religions, and political persuasions—from celebrities to suburban moms to Hells Angels. Including interviews with celebrity tattooers Kat Von D and Oliver Peck (Miami Ink), hardcore legend Evan Seinfeld, and some regular folks, Permanence is an entertaining and enlightening portrait of the tattooed population today.

Book Description
Elegant, brutal, and profound—this magnificent debut captures the grit and glory of modern Hawai'i with breathtaking force and accuracy. In a stunning collection that announces the arrival of an incredible talent, Kristiana Kahakauwila travels the islands of Hawai'i, making the fabled place her own. Exploring the deep tensions between local and tourist, tradition and expectation, façade and authentic self, This Is Paradise provides an unforgettable portrait of life as it’s truly being lived on Maui, Oahu, Kaua'i and the Big Island. In the gut-punch of “Wanle,” a beautiful and tough young woman wants nothing more than to follow in her father’s footsteps as a legendary cockfighter. With striking versatility, the title story employs a chorus of voices—the women of Waikiki—to tell the tale of a young tourist drawn to the darker side of the city’s nightlife. “The Old Paniolo Way” limns the difficult nature of legacy and inheritance when a patriarch tries to settle the affairs of his farm before his death. Exquisitely written and bursting with sharply observed detail, Kahakauwila’s stories remind us of the powerful desire to belong, to put down roots, and to have a place to call home.

Book Description
Pure Winds Bright Moon depicts the untold odyssey of a runaway, stowaway youth from 1800's Japan who sailed into New York Harbor in 1899. In 1906, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving on five battleships as a trusted officer's steward to heroic captains and commanders. He also served under Admirals and other high-ranking officers at the Pensacola Naval Air Station. Because of his long and honorable 30-year military service, in 1942, he became the only Japanese male of record in U.S. history to have been Honorably Exempted from incarceration in America's WWII Japanese concentration camps. It further covers his unprecedented triumph as among the first Japanese to be naturalized in 1919, racially-intolerant Pensacola, Florida, as well as being among the first in U.S. history. Astonishingly, his citizenship was upheld on appeal while the citizenship of hundreds of other Japanese was denied or revoked. Contrary to alien land laws prohibiting Japanese from owning land, he was also among the first to own property. Pure Winds Bright Moon also encompasses his post-military career as a stately steward to Hollywood's 20th Century Fox Chairman, Joseph Schenck, to legendary singer-showman Al Jolson and to silent screen star Norma Talmadge. In 1969, in the sunset of his career, he was celebrated as the oldest surviving crewmember of the U.S.S. New Jersey, the most celebrated battleship in naval history. This important historical work further recounts the unpublished history of his Hapa-Japanese family's attainment of exemption from being unceremoniously uprooted from their homes and confined in Japanese prison camps along the west coast. It also explores the Army's weird, wonderful and racist Mixed Marriage Policy, which paradoxically, prevented their arrest and recounts their ordeal in coping with race prejudice, harassment and vigilante violence while living unimprisoned in the lion's den of wartime Los Angeles. It further exposes the bloodguilty baiting of the Japanese into attacking Pearl Harbor by Franklin D. Roosevelt and his war cabinet by obstructing the Pearl Harbor commanders' military operations to search and destroy the Japanese fleet.
