{"product_id":"9780578071596","title":"Drink the Bitter Waters: On the Social Condition of Native Hawaiians","description":"Drink the Bitter Waters is a revelation. With graceful prose and insightful interviews we hear firsthand about the fundamental values of equality and opportunity too often out of reach for the native Hawaiian community. Bitter Waters covers issues discerning of the Hawaiian experience: entitlement programs challenged by the status quo, ethnic perceptions that hinder progress, historical relationships growing more distant, a remarkably unequal distribution of wealth and the institutional bias that keeps opportunity separate. Not for the light hearted, Fernandez reminds us that we must keep trying to have these discussions, and does so with a language that shows great reflection. She recognizes the depth to which we are all touched by this circumstance and makes a complex subject matter accessible. Profound, elegant, it's a treatise to be read slowly and shared with others. An uncommon island voice, people will be talking about this thoughtful book for a long time.","brand":"Ohi'a Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49807679193328,"sku":"9780578071596","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780578071596","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
