Sharks in the Time of Saviors explores the effects that the history of colonialism has on contemporary life in Hawaii. It specifically focuses on the economic and cultural effect It has on native Hawaiians. Using magical realism, Washburn illustrates Hawaii’s ongoing battle against settler colonialism.
