The Natives Are Restless: A San Francisco Dance Master Takes Hula Into the Twenty-First Century

4.5/5 ( ratings)

The art of hula is thriving in cities all over the country and the world, but it is not always understood. In The Natives Are Restless, journalist Constance Hale presents the largely untold story of the dance tradition, using the twin keyholes of Kumu Patrick Makuakane , and his 350-person arts organization . In the background, she weaves the poignant story of an ancient people and the resilience of their culture. In the foreground, she tells the story of an electrifying new form of hula that has emerged from a restless generation of artists like Makuakane. The crisp narrative is complemented by full-color photographs and illustrations. Her love for hula, and her history with the dance, inform Hale s prose on every level. She makes Makuakane s exuberant, fierce, sensuous dance style come alive on the page."
