 up></p><hr /><p>Prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic\, tourists visiting Hawai‘i 
 vastly outnumbered local residents by more than 9.4 million to 1.4 million.
  The fourth smallest “state\,” Hawai‘i ranks tenth in visitors. Tourism\, a
 long with militarism\, is the core of Hawai‘i’s economic engine\, cementing
  tourist desire and satisfaction as the definitive concerns that shape the 
 “health” of Hawaiʻi. Given how Hawaiʻi is overdetermined by tourism\, how m
 ight we offer a decolonial encounter with Hawai‘i as something worth unders
 tanding and engaging in?  <u>Detours: A Decolonial Guide to </u><u>Hawaiʻi 
 </u>takes seriously the power of form and the reading practices\, imaginari
 es and publics produced by tourism and deliberately unsettles them. Our pre
 sentation will outline the ethical dimensions of the project and the ration
 ale for turning away from the guidebook genre toward a book that guides rea
 ders to decolonisation—a template and archive of place-based work and repre
 sentations aimed at achieving ea (life\, breath\, sovereignty). We will als
 o reflect on the kinds of responsibilities that emerge from this framework 
 and what it means for people who visit or live in Hawaiʻi and for decolonza
 tion in other places.</p><hr /><p><strong>Vernadette Gonzalez</strong> is P
