Professor Stanley Orr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>–West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a> Professor of English Stanley Orr<\/strong> published “Strangers in Our Own Land: John Kneubuhl, Modern Drama, and Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Five-O<\/a>”<\/em> in the September 2015 issue of American Quarterly<\/em><\/a>, the preeminent American studies journal.<\/p>\n

Orr argues that the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Five-O<\/em> television script “Strangers in Our Own Land,” (1968) written by Samoan American dramatist John Kneubuhl, is a pivotal text that exemplifies the thematic unity of the playwright’s literary works. Together with Kneubuhl’s other small-screen dramas, “Strangers in Our Own Land” stands along side the playwright’s masterful works representing diverse Oceanic cultural traditions.<\/p>\n
