Whiteness, in this context, is not simply a matter of skin color but a social and political construct that has been used to justify the domination and exploitation of indigenous peoples. This book demonstrates how scientific knowledge has been instrumental in constructing and maintaining settler colonial whiteness in Hawai'i and Oceania. Through the lens of science, indigenous peoples have been portrayed as inferior, savage, and in need of "civilization." Scientific expeditions, ethnographic studies, and medical practices have all been used to justify the displacement, dispossession, and assimilation of indigenous communities. The book presents a series of in-depth case studies that explore the specific ways in which science has been used to advance settler colonial agendas in Hawai'i and Oceania. These case studies examine a wide range of topics, including: These case studies provide concrete examples of the ways in which science has been complicit in the oppression of indigenous peoples.
