Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An economist’s view of Hawaii’s agriculture, its history, present status, and future prospects. The author presents a wealth of essential information on Island crops, and discusses significant agricultural trends in down-to-earth language for farmers, specialists, students, and the general public. Part One surveys the historical background of today’s economy and the development of various agricultural industries now commercially important in the Islands. Hawaii’s unique farm economy presents local problems which mainland methods cannot solve; expanding diversified agriculture is viewed by the author as an important way to strengthen the Island’s economic position. Part Two is a detailed discussion of each diversified agricultural industry; vegetables, flowers and foliage, fruits and macadamia nuts, coffee, livestock, poultry, beekeeping, and others. The author advocates advanced production methods and greater diversification to increase farm income and, at the same time, develop export crops.

Download or read book Islands in Transition written by Thomas Kemper Hitch and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why has Hawaii, from the times of Polynesian antiquity to the present, enjoyed the highest material standard of living in Oceania? How did changes in the social structure of pre-Cook Hawaii affect that standard? What happened to the islands' economy as western dominance took place, as land ownership was created, as technology was imported, as plantation workers immigrated, as World War II broke the social mold of the islands? These are some of the basic questions raised by Thomas Hitch in "Islands in Transition," the first book-length economic history of Hawaii to be printed in a generation. The book is divided into two sections. The first, "From the Record,"traces the development of Hawaii's economy from the moneyless, sharing, tribute, and barter system of the native culture to a plantation economy controlled from Honolulu and dominated by the Big Five. In the second section, "As I Saw it," Dr. Hitch describes the further development of Hawaii into a high-tech service economy, heavily based on tourism and military expenditures, increasingly involved in the multi-national global economy. He appraises the recent past and projects the future from the vantage point of his long career at Honolulu business community, first as director of research for the Hawaii Employers Council and then as Senior Vice President for Research at First Hawaiian Bank, until his death in August, 1989. This volume is written for the general reader, but appendices address questions of particular interest to economists and business analysts. These include measuring the cost of living in Hawaii, estimating the growth rate of the state economy, and appraising its sensitivity to the national business cycle.
Download or read book A Pacific Industry written by Richard A. Hawkins and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hawaiian pineapple industry emerged in the late nineteenth century as part of an attempt to diversify the Hawaiian economy from dependence on sugar cane as its only staple industry. Here, economic historian Richard A. Hawkins presents a definitive history of an industry from its modest beginnings to its emergence as a major contributor to the American industrial narrative. He traces the rise and fall of the corporate giants who dominated the global canning world for much of the twentieth century. Drawing from a host of familiar economic models and an unparalleled body of research, Hawkins analyses the entrepreneurial development and twentieth-century migration of the pineapple canning industry in Hawaii. The result is not only a comprehensive history, but also a unique story of American innovation and ingenuity amid the rising tides of globalization.

Download or read book Pacific Confluence written by Christen T. Sasaki and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1898 annexation of Hawaiʻi to the US is often framed as an inevitable step in American expansion—but it was never a foregone conclusion. By pairing the intimate and epic together in critical juxtaposition, Christen T. Sasaki reveals the unstable nature not just of the coup state but of the US empire itself. The attempt to create a US-backed white settler state in Hawaiʻi sparked a turn-of-the-century debate about race-based nationalism and state-based sovereignty and jurisdiction that was contested on the global stage. Centered around a series of flash points that exposed the fragility of the imperial project, Pacific Confluence examines how the meeting and mixing of ideas that occurred between Hawaiians and Japanese, white American, and Portuguese transients and settlers led to the dynamic rethinking of the modern nation-state.

Book excerpt: "This comprehensive overview of Hawaiian history focuses on the common laborer's working conditions and quality of life. In Working in Hawaii, Edward D. Beechert traced an evolution in the economic environment that progressed from the ancient Hawaiian communal society based on subsistence agriculture to the complex capitalistic economy of the present. The book concentrates on the last 200 years when the most rapid and profound changes in the working environment occurred. The Europeans, and the Americans, brought with them tools, weapons, diseases, alcohol, religion, and money, the trappings of an antithetical culture that was to change Hawaii forever. Rich land, good weather, an abundant labor force, and an exclusive American market appealed to enterprising investors. To support their ambitions to turn a Hawaiian society based on a subsistence economy into a Western industrial one based on plantation agriculture, entrepreneurs introduced the concept of private property. They supported it with a Western legal system. Foreign labor was imported from Asia when the dwindling Hawaiian population could no longer meet the plantations' growing need for a constant supply of cheap labor. Beechert maintains that the workers, far from being victims of this economic transition, took advantage of the growing employment opportunities and made significant contributions to the development of the Hawaiian economy, notably the sugar industry. As the Island economy progressed, the laborers confronted conditions unlike those of agricultural workers elsewhere. They worked under three distinct forms of government that served a monarchy, a republic, and a colonial territory. Their status ranged from that of indentured penal contract laborers to that of free wage laborers protected by the U. S. Constitution. The struggle for dignity, as important to the workers as the battle for decent wages and working conditions, was long and discouraging but ultimately successful to a degree unmatched in the sugar-producing world. To put the history of labor in the Hawaiian islands in an expanded historical perspective, the author discusses a record of labor legislation, law enforcement, and public policy concerning labor, as well as details on how workers organized and formed modern unions. By consulting a wide range of documentary sources, including plantation records, business memoranda, union files, legislation, labor contracts, court documents, newspaper items, and public speeches, Beechert has made this the most complete history of labor in Hawaii to date. Scholars and students of labor history, sociological change, and Hawaiiana should also appreciate the extensive bibliography" -- Dust jacket.

Download or read book Sovereign Sugar written by Carol A. MacLennan and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although little remains of Hawai‘i’s plantation economy, the sugar industry’s past dominance has created the Hawai‘i we see today. Many of the most pressing and controversial issues—urban and resort development, water rights, expansion of suburbs into agriculturally rich lands, pollution from herbicides, invasive species in native forests, an unsustainable economy—can be tied to Hawai‘i’s industrial sugar history. Sovereign Sugar unravels the tangled relationship between the sugar industry and Hawai‘i’s cultural and natural landscapes. It is the first work to fully examine the complex tapestry of socioeconomic, political, and environmental forces that shaped sugar’s role in Hawai‘i. While early Polynesian and European influences on island ecosystems started the process of biological change, plantation agriculture, with its voracious need for land and water, profoundly altered Hawai‘i’s landscape. MacLennan focuses on the rise of industrial and political power among the sugar planter elite and its political-ecological consequences. The book opens in the 1840s when the Hawaiian Islands were under the influence of American missionaries. Changes in property rights and the move toward Western governance, along with the demands of a growing industrial economy, pressed upon the new Hawaiian nation and its forests and water resources. Subsequent chapters trace island ecosystems, plantation communities, and natural resource policies through time—by the 1930s, the sugar economy engulfed both human and environmental landscapes. The author argues that sugar manufacture has not only significantly transformed Hawai‘i but its legacy provides lessons for future outcomes.
