The book is divided into four parts:

• Origins: This section explores the pre-colonial history of Hawai'i, from the arrival of the first Polynesian settlers to the establishment of the Hawaiian kingdom.
• Encounters: This section examines the complex and often fraught history of Hawai'i's interactions with foreign powers, from the arrival of Captain Cook to the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy.
• Resistance: This section highlights the struggles of Native Hawaiians to resist colonization and maintain their cultural identity.
• Detours: This section offers a series of essays that explore contemporary issues facing Hawai'i, from tourism and development to environmental degradation and climate change.

Detours is a timely and important book that provides a much-needed corrective to the dominant narratives about Hawai'i. The book's contributors offer a range of perspectives on the islands' history, culture, and politics, and they challenge readers to think critically about the ways in which Hawai'i has been represented and understood.

Detours is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand the complex and often hidden history of Hawai'i. The book is also a powerful call to action for those who want to work towards a more just and sustainable future for the islands.
