“…Our reflexive thematic analysis experiment demonstrated the importance of the researcher being of the same cultural and language background as the participants. This would hopefully ensure that the nuances of language and culture would be more accurately captured (Enari & Matapo, 2020Lemusuifeauaali"i & Enari 2021).…”

This paper reflects on reflexive thematic analyses with Pacific peoples from different cultural and language backgrounds. This paper will briefly describe reflexive thematic analysis according to Braun et al. (2019) and reflect upon issues concerning thematic analysis and Pacific cultures and languages. As academics, researchers, and practitioners, “we engage in a co-construction of knowledge” with our communities while adhering to cross-cultural notions of respect (Enari & Rangiwai, 2021, p. 2). We draw upon our collective cultural knowledge to offer a unique insider perspective (Enari & Rangiwai, 2021) concerning our current understandings of reflexive thematic analysis as it applies to research with Pacific peoples.

“…As people who cherish collective lifestyles, regularly gather in large groups, and entertain deep‐seated interconnections with friends and family, our way of being has been completely disrupted by COVID‐19 (Enari and Matapo 2020). We are no longer allowed to visit our relatives in other states and in overseas countries such as New Zealand, United States, and the island homelands (Enari and Matapo 2020; Faleolo 2020). Social distancing rules have altered how research is conducted as we are unable to undertake fieldwork.…”

“…The articulation of our Pasifika worldviews exists in our collective camaraderie with other Pasifika peoples (Matapo 2018; Mila‐Schaaf 2010). Our ways of being as communal societies with intergenerational living and learning philosophies were fundamentally challenged during COVID‐19 (Enari and Matapo 2020). The pandemic challenged the ability of Pasifika peoples to connect and to create conducive environments for cultural connections (Enari and Faleolo 2020).…”

“…All the stories in this anthology humanise the Pacific youth and challenge the reader to look beyond deficit theorising that is sometimes imposed on this group. With many of the authors also being Pacific and coming from these communities, as readers, we are provided insider access to many stories that otherwise may be left untold (Enari & Matapo, 2020;2021). What is of particular interest throughout this anthology is the use of their own cultural capital in moving forward.…”

Pacific Youth have been visible in global discourse as 'natives' 'sport athletes' and 'criminals'. Sadly, many of these narratives have been imposed on this group by the media and ill-informed academics. As a result, there has been an invasion of scholarly literature which frames Pacific youth through a deficit lens. Not only is deficit theorising inappropriate, it is also dehumanising. Reppin': Pacific Islander Youth and Native Justice aims to counter these narratives by privileging the 'lived experiences' and resilience of Pacific youth from a transnational standpoint. This anthology opens with a comprehensive introduction by Keith L. Camacho, himself a passionate and well known scholar of Pacific studies. Camacho challenges the problematic nature of current literature on Pacific youth. He believes that stories of Pacific youth should allow for this cohort to maintain their "dignity". In doing so, he shows the corrective and scholarly contribution of this anthology, which is to provide an avenue to show the stories of Pacific youth both in the Island nations and diaspora, with respect and humanity.Through this work, he showcases how Pacific Islander youth address global issues, advocate for change and create their own narratives, 'reppin island style'.Chapter 1, titled 'Koti Rangatahi: Whanaungatanga Justice and the "Magnificence of the Connectedness"', by Stella Jacquie Kidd and Katey Thom, is about culturally appropriate ways to engage Maori families and youth. This chapter calls for "whanaungatanga justice", which is a collectively Maori approach which incorporates many aspects of te Ao Māori (Maori worldview) such as the elders, speeches, meetinghouses and carvings present in Koti Rangatahi (Youth Court), it is envisioned that this process can be implemented in every legal process in New Zealand.Chapter 2 is titled '"Raise Your Pen": A Critical Race Essay on Truth and Justice', and is written by Kepa 'okusitino maumau, Moana 'ulu' Ave-Hafoka, and Lea Lani Kinikini. This chapter speaks of an extraordinary journey of Kepa Okusitino Maumau and how he was able to navigate the legal system in Salt Lake Ciy, Utah. Through a high school acquaintance, the fusion of Tongan culture and Critical race theory, Kepa was able to be released from prison, as an empowered man.Chapter 3, titled 'Pasifika Lens: An analysis of Samoan student experiences in Australian High Schools', written by Vaoiva Ponton, speaks of youth homework study groups for Samoan students BOOK REVIEW
