Books by Cristina Bacchilega

"An extraordinary book, and a 'first' on the topic... Bacchilega has a remarkable capacity to reveal the intersections of folklore, literature, and film. Her interpretations of classical folk-tale types and their postmodern revisions ... are stunning."-Jack Zipes, University of Minnesota

In a book with interdisciplinary appeal, Bacchilega demonstrates both how the myth of legendary Hawai'i emerged and how this vision can be unmade and reimagined.
