Bushnell\u2019s novel criticizes the stereotypical view of Hawai\u2019i as a paradisal archipelago through a narration grounded within the<br>socio-historical circumstances of leprosy outbreak and the ensuing discrimination and<br>segregation towards its sufferers. Moloka\u2019i problematizes colonizer\/colonized dichotomy<br>by placing the disabled lepers\u2019 body in the entangled aspect of colonial hegemony and<br>indigenous resistance within the interconnected nature of disease, disability and<br>colonialism. This paper underlines how an econarratological perspective deconstructs<br>readers\u2019 own presupposition concerning Hawai\u2019i through the construction of virtual<br>storyworld narrated from contrasting settlers\/natives binarism in a polyvocal narration.<br>An econarratological perspective actively invites reader to retrospectively shift their<br>outlook from the dominant discourse rooted within colonial authority toward the<br>emergence of indigenous voices, previously submerged in the narrative of diseases and<br>disability.
