Eddie Kamae, a leading force in the Hawaiian cultural renaissance of the past thirty years, has spent his life documenting and illuminating cultural traditions and old Hawaiian ways. Written by James D. Houston and interspersed with Eddie's recollections, Hawaiian Son charts this Hawaiian man's very personal odyssey across the backdrop of the twentieth-century Hawai'i. Generously illustrated with historic photos and drawings, the 280-page book insightfully portrays the influential kupuna, dancers, musicians, and storytellers who have guided Eddie on his lifelong journey.
