Abstract

In this essay, I explore the implications of (neo)colonialism on Keʻeaumoku street and look towards indigenous and community-based answers. As issues of gentrification, homelessness, and the rising cost of living plague Hawaiʻi, many look for ways to solve these issues as an “Us” (Hawaiʻi Residents) versus “Them” (Continental U.S. and International Corporations) dichotomy, as opposed to looking towards the broader issues of colonialism and the further implications. To do this, I specifically look at the Transit-Oriented Development and make connections between the historical and contemporary urbanization of Honolulu and the ongoing colonization of Hawaiʻi. I also suggest that the social action previously taken by communities in Kakaʻako should be used for the Keʻeaumoku street communityEn este ensayo, exploro las implicaciones del (neo-)colonialismo en la calle Keʻeaumoku y observo las respuestas indígenas y comunitarias. A medida que los problemas de gentrificación, la falta de viviendas y el aumento del costo de vida se convierten en una plaga para Hawaiʻi, muchos buscan resolver estas cuestiones como una dicotomía entre “Nosotros” (Residentes de Hawaiʻi) contra “Ellos” (corporaciones estadounidenses e internacionales continentales) en lugar de fijarse en los problemas más graves del colonialismo y las implicaciones adicionales. Para ello, examino específicamente el Desarrollo Orientado al Tránsito y trazo conexiones entre la urbanización histórica y contemporánea de Honolulu y la colonización en curso de Hawaiʻi. También sugiero que la acción social que emprendieron anteriormente las comunidades en Kakaʻako se lleve a cabo en beneficio de la comunidad de la calle Keʻeaumoku.
