“A must-read for anyone interested in Hawaiian intellectual history and indigenous studies, this book results from amazing research and work that do not, however, weigh on Silva’s clear and cogent writing.” - Cristina Bacchilega (Journal of American History) "The Power of the Steel-tipped Pen is the most in-depth exploration of Native Hawaiian intellectual history to be published to date. . . . [It] is likely to join Aloha Betrayed as part of the modern canon of Hawaiian history, as well as provide a potential model for Indigenous intellectual histories in Oceania and elsewhere." - Kealani Cook (Journal of Pacific History) “Noenoe K. Silva’s work provides readers with a deeply meaningful way of studying the past in relation to the present and future. . . . Deeply motivating.” - Emalani Case (European Journal of American Culture) “The Power of the Steel-Tipped Pen offers a master class on how to use an archive. Required reading for anyone interested in the fields of Hawaiian history or Hawaiian studies.” - Hi'ilei Julia Hobart (Contemporary Pacific) "Any reader with an interest in indigenous studies will find this text offering several valuable methodological lessons as well as a wonderful example of a community-centered scholarship of practice." - Natchee Blu Barnd (American Indian Culture and Research Journal) "Noenoe K. Silva (Kanaka Hawai‘i) has published another brilliant and much-needed contribution to several scholarly fields, including intellectual history, indigenous studies, and Hawaiian historiography. . . . This project not only serves to add nuance to scholarly understandings of Hawaii’s history by considering the often-ignored archive of Hawaiian-language texts, but, more importantly, contributes to the indigenous sovereignty movement in Hawaii." - Leah Kuragano (Journal of American Studies) "A compelling and erudite book whose linguistic and methodological range demonstrates that dedication to Indigenous futures is deeply rooted in Native Hawaiian intellectual history. . . [The Power of the Steel-Tipped Pen] powerfully brings together close readings, biographical study, and historical contextualization. Silva has produced a major work that demands the attention of all readers committed to Hawaiian history, Hawaiian literature, and Hawaiian studies." - David A. Chang (Native American and Indigenous Studies)
