October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities to increase the awareness of the disease and raise funds for research. The annual event was founded in 1985 as a partnership between American Cancer Society and the pharmaceutical division of the Imperial Chemical Industries. Throughout the world, events are held including walks and runs and often the illumination of buildings in the color pink.

Below are a select number of resources related to breast cancer to help you to learn more about the disease. 

Abel, E. K. (2008). After the cure: the untold stories of breast cancer survivors. New York University Press. 

"The stories of 70 women living in the aftermath of breast cancer. Chemo brain. Fatigue. Chronic pain. Insomnia. Depression. These are just a few of the ongoing, debilitating symptoms that plague some breast cancer survivors long after their treatments have officially ended. While there are hundreds of books about breast cancer... what has been missing until now is testimony from the thousands of women who continue to struggle with persistent health problems." -- from publisher

Rodriguez, M. A. (2019). Handbook of cancer survivorship care. Springer Publishing.

"...serves a practical and concise guide for the multidisciplinary management of cancer survivors. Each chapter is authored by a team consisting of a seasoned oncologist and an experienced practitioner who provides direct services in survivorship care... As a pocket-sized, quick reference Handbook of Cancer Survivorship Care is an indispensable resource for any healthcare provider seeing patients in remission..." -- from publisher

Saunders, C. (2018). Breast cancer: the facts. Oxford University Press. 

"Breast Cancer: The Facts provides essential, easy-to-follow information on all aspects of the diagnosis and management of breast cancer. It provides essential background information on the disease and equips patients affected by breast cancer and their families to be able to ask their healthcare team the questions they need answered to make informed decisions about their treatment." -- from publisher

Hawaiian History Month: Hawaiian Renaissance

In this week's installment of blogs to commemorate Hawaiian History Month, we focus on the Hawaiian renaissance.

The first Hawaiian renaissance is associated with King Kamehameha V and his nationalist sentiments that were carried on through the reign of King Kalākaua, for whom the Merrie Monarch festival is named in honor of.

The second Hawaiian renaissance begun in the 1970s with a surge of music, arts, and scholarly interest in Kānaka Maoli culture and identity.  Below are resources sharing information on the Hawaiian renaissance and Hawaiian history. For more information, please reach out to the Hawaiian-Pacific Librarian, Krystal Kakimoto, at krystal.kakimoto@chaminade.edu.

"Noelani Arista  uncovers a trove of previously unused Hawaiian language documents to chronicle the story of Hawaiians' experience of encounter and colonialism in the nineteenth century. The result is a heretofore untold story of native political formation, the creation of indigenous law, and the extension of chiefly rule over natives and foreigners alike." -- from publisher
