Kitsch, Tourist Art, and the Little Grass Shack in Hawai'i
O'Connor's article from the Home Cultures Journal discusses the idea of "a little grass shack" as an object of kitsch that misleads the tourist. This journal article defies "tourist kitsch" as a construct that undermines the political notion of Hawaiian sovereignty. Dissecting false cultural perceptions created by the Hawaiian economy, this essay is a critical analysis of tourism using subjects like ethnohistory and material culture.
