dc.description.abstractThis thesis investigates the participation of Kānaka ‘Ōiwi in slam poetry. It explores why some Kānaka have chosen slam poetry as their poetic expression, but also looks at how slam poetry, an American poetic form, can be an articulation of contemporary Kanaka ‘Ōiwi culture. This project looks at the connections with oral traditions and examines the ways Kanaka slam poets use slam poetry to push against stereotypical/colonial notions of Hawai‘i and Kānaka.
