Podcasts & Television Episode about Massie-Kahahawai case of 1931-32
The Massie-Kahahawai case of 1931-32 is mentioned once again – this time in two different kinds of media. A handful of University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa faculty served as interviewees and consultants for these productions which are being released this fall 2016.
(1) Honolulu Civil Beat & PRX podcast series “Offshore”
Description: “In Season 1, ‘A Killing in Waikiki,’ Offshore investigates the violent deaths of two young Native Hawaiians — one in 1932, the other in 2011. The 10-episode series explores issues of race, federal power and policing in America’s most diverse state. If Hawaiʻi can’t figure it out, what hope is there for the rest of America? The answer might surprise you.”
Released: October – December 2016
Interviewees / consultants: UHM American Studies Professor David E. Stannard, UHM Hawaiian Studies Professor Jon Kamakawiwoʻole, and UHM History Associate Professor John P. Rosa.
