Abstract

This review focuses on *REPPIN': Pacific Islander Youth and Native Justice*, edited by Keith L. Camacho, which explores the roles of Pacific Islander youth in urban and diasporic contexts, particularly through the lens of hip hop culture and its intersections with issues of justice and identity. The book is organized into three parts—Governance, Law and Education; Popular Culture, Social Media and Hip Hop; and Indigenous Masculinities—and features contributions from academics, activists, journalists, and filmmakers, primarily from the United States. It covers diverse Pacific communities including Hawai'i, Tonga, Samoa, Vanuatu, and the Marshall Islands, addressing topics such as youth engagement with criminal justice systems, cultural expression, and diasporic identities. Originating from a 2019 UCLA conference, the volume offers a broad geographic and thematic scope, though some chapters are more historical and the writing style may challenge general readers.
