Noenoe K. Silva (born October 19, 1954) is a Hawaiian author and scholar. A professor of political science at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, her work has appeared in ''Biography'', ''American Studies'', and ''The Contemporary Pacific''. ==Life== Silva was born on Oʻahu and is of Kanaka Maoli descent. She returned to Hawaii in 1985 after growing up in California. In 1991, she earned my bachelor’s in Hawaiian language. In 1993, she completed a master's degree in Library and Information Studies, and in 1999 earned a PhD in political science. ==Work== While still a doctoral candidate, Silva was instrumental in rediscovering the Kū’ē Petitions, which had been presented to the United States government in 1897 in an attempt to halt American annexation of Hawaii. The petitions formed part of the basis for her book ''Aloha Betrayed: Native Hawaiian Resistance to American Colonialism'', an examination of Hawaiian language accounts of the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom. In 2006, Silva received a Katrin H. Lamon Fellowship from the School for Advanced Research to continue her research along similar lines through building a database of Hawaiian authors. Silva also contributed to ''A Dictionary of the Hawaiian Language'', an updated reprint of the first Hawaiian-English dictionary prepared by Lorrin Andrews in 1865, which was published by Island Heritage in 2003. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Noenoe Silva」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
