He loea ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, he mea kākau puke, a he alakaʻi o ke ea Hawaiʻi ʻo Haunani-Kay Trask (1949-2021). He polopeka emerita ʻo ia ma ke Kulanui o Hawaiʻi ma Mānoa, a ʻo ia ka mea i hoʻokumu i ke Kikowaena ʻImi Hawaiʻi.

Ka moʻolelo

Hānau ʻia ʻo Trask i Honolulu, Hawaiʻi i ka lā 3 o ʻOkakopa, 1949. He mamo ʻo ia no ka ʻohana Piʻilani o Kauaʻi a me ka ʻohana Kahakuakoi o Kauaʻi.

Hele ʻo ia i ke Kula o Kamehameha, a puka maikaʻi loa ʻo ia mai laila mai i ka makahiki 1967. Ma hope o kona puka ʻana, hele ʻo ia i ke Kulanui o Chicago no hoʻokahi makahiki ma mua o kona neʻe ʻana i ke Kulanui o Wisconsin-Madison. Ma laila, loaʻa iā ia kāna kēkelē laepua ma ka ʻEpekema Politik i ka makahiki 1972 a me kāna kēkelē laeʻula ma ka ʻEpekema Politik i ka makahiki 1981. ʻO kāna pepa nui no ka laeʻula, "Eros and Power: The Promise of Feminist Theory," ua lilo ia i puke i paʻi ʻia ma hope.

I kona wā ma ke kulanui, lilo ʻo ia i alakaʻi no ka Kaua Vietnam kūʻē movement a me ka women's liberation movement. Ma laila i hoʻomaka ai kona hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka pilina ma waena o ke kolonialisma a me ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻāina.
