DuPuis, Reshela P. "Documenting Community: Activist Videography in Hawai'i," Program in American Culture, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, April 1997.
This dissertation historicizes the development of an activist documentary video movement in Hawai’i, based on interviews with members of Hawai’i's multi-ethnic community of alternative video producers, most of whom are women, and on assessments of their productions critiquing public discourses about Hawai’i's history, resisting Hawai’i's incorporation into America, and supporting the linked movements for Native Hawaiian sovereignty, Hawaiian cultural revival, and environmental protection. It models a feminist, collaborative research ad writing methodology, and employs feminist film, ethnographic and historical analyses. It assesses the problematics of its methodologies for studies of multi-ethnic communities engaged in movements for indigenous self-determination in American-dominated sites.
