In Introducing MANA: A Journal of Hawai‘i, a very special book devoted to the culture and community of the Hawaiian people. This elegant and meaningful hardcover volume, to be released in December 2015, is written, photographed and produced by the creative team behind MANA Magazine, carrying forward MANA’s mission of informing and inspiring the people of Hawai‘i.

From 2012 through 2015, MANA Magazine served as an independent voice for the Hawaiian community and all who hold Hawai‘i dear. Its in-depth exploration of Hawaiian heritage, language, arts and issues shared opinions and ideas in provocative fashion, while helping create a deeper sense of community throughout the Islands and beyond.

MANA: A Journal of Hawai‘i represents the next step in this evolution. From cover to cover, the book offers the best of MANA Magazine—its most insightful articles, its most inspiring photographs. A portion of the book’s sales revenues will go to support ‘Ahahui Haku Mo‘olelo, the Native Hawaiian Journalists Association. Like its predecessor magazine published under the banner “engaging Hawaiian hearts,” MANA: A Journal of Hawai‘i will continue the dialogue on important issues impacting the Hawaiian community—from health to governance, education to sustainability—both today and in the years to come.
