"Well written and nicely theorized, Reckoning with Restorative Justice is an important project based on rigorous research, which adopts an intersectional lens in interrogating social justice failures in the contemporary carceral setting in Hawai'i. As an innovative exploration of Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander women's writing that has been neglected, this is original work that is much needed."
J. Kehaulani Kauanui, author of, Paradoxes of Hawaiian Sovereignty: Land, Sex, and the Colonial Politics of State Nationalism
"Reckoning with Restorative Justice is a complex and nuanced investigation of the tensions inherent in writing within a carceral setting and a reminder that even embedded within this complexity of challenges, the act of storytelling offers an intimate pathway to both personal insight and collective community witnessing as well as a significant step on a journey toward healing."
Lynden Harris, editor of, Right Here, Right Now: Life Stories from America’s Death Row
