Aloha Compadre is the first study to examine the collective history and contemporary experiences of the Latinx population of Hawaiʻi. It reveals that contrary to popular discourse, Latinx migration to Hawaiʻi is not a recent event. From the early 1830s to the present, Latinx communities have been a part of the cultural landscape of Hawaiʻi prior to annexation, territorial status, and statehood.
