The Hawaiian Islands are a part of the United States lying 2,000 miles off the coast of California and several hundred miles easterly from the farthest western possessions of the United States in Alaska. These islands are now and have been for eight years (since June 14, 1900) an integral part of the territory of the United States. This fact seems to be not generally appreciated by the great mass of citizens on the mainland. As a consequence, the opportunities offered by the islands and the duties of the United States as a whole to the Territory have been quite largely overlooked. The opportunities are those offered by a rich soil, a highly developed civilization, and, most notably, by a climate ideal as regards comfort and suitability for high physical development. The duties of the nation to this Territory arise from the fact that this island outpost is the gateway through which passes most of the traffic to and from the Orient, and where diseases inimical to the human race, also the insect pests or blights injurious to animal and vegetable life, must be caught and destroyed or prevented from further progress. From the political standpoint the importance of keeping these islands thoroughly American in racial and social affinities can hardly be overestimated. There is not sufficient area to develop at once a State so great and independent that its demands will be prominent at the federal capital. It is therefore incumbent upon the National Government to see that this community is given the needed encouragement and support which will lead to its best development along traditional American lines. The health of the body politic demands that this small but important territory should have a full recognition and constant consideration. It is unnecessary to enter upon any argument along military lines. This has been widely discussed, but it is significant to point out that this gateway to and from the Orient is the abiding place for Orientals now comprising 56 per cent of the population. Counting with these the peoples from southern Europe-landless and largely migratory laborers, with no inherent loyalty to republican institutions-the total forms nearly three-fourths of the whole population of the islands. Add to this the fact that the natives, who comprise nearly three-fourths of the voters, are still uncertain in their civil attitude-are easily swayed by specious arguments-and there arises a condition where common prudence demands careful thought, resulting in a definite plan, followed by action. There is a striking deficiency in numbers of what have been called the "plain people"- citizens descended from generations of freemen-in whom thrift, energy, and civic virtues are inborn. This lack notably of the "small farmer" has long been recognized. It is the duty of the nation to assist in filling this need.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the middle decades of the twentieth century, Hawai'i changed rapidly from a conservative oligarchy firmly controlled by a Euro-American elite to arguably the most progressive part of the United States. Spearheading the shift were tens of thousands of sugar, pineapple, and dock workers who challenged their powerful employers by joining the left-led International Longshoremen and Warehousemen's Union. In this theoretically innovative study, Moon-Kie Jung explains how Filipinos, Japanese, Portuguese, and others overcame entrenched racial divisions and successfully mobilized a mass working-class movement. He overturns the unquestioned assumption that this interracial effort traded racial politics for class politics. Instead, the movement "reworked race" by incorporating and rearticulating racial meanings and practices into a new ideology of class. Through its groundbreaking historical analysis, Reworking Race radically rethinks interracial politics in theory and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rarely a day goes by in Hawai‘i without the media reporting on environmental issues stemming from public debate. Will the proposed housing development block my access to the beach? Is the rising sea level going to cause flooding where I live? How does overfishing damage the reef? Is the water clean where I surf? Living on the Shores of Hawai‘i discusses the paradox of environmental loss under a management system considered by many to be one of the most stringent in the nation. It reviews a wide range of environmental concerns in Hawai‘i with an eye toward resolution by focusing on "place-based" management, a theme consistent with—and borrowing from—the Hawaiian ahupua‘a system. After describing a typical situation in Hawai‘i where a sandy beach is lost because a seawall has been built to protect a poorly sited home, the authors step back in time to trace land-use practices before and after the arrival of Westerners and the increased tempo of destruction following the latter. They go on to discuss volcanoes and the risk of placing homes in locations vulnerable to natural hazards and the potential dangers of earthquakes and tsunamis to a complacent public. Water issues, including scarcity, flooding, and pollution, are surveyed, as well as climate change and the possible outcomes of projected sea rise for Hawai‘i. The authors explain coastal erosion and beach loss and the problems of overfishing and ocean acidification. Later chapters assess residents’ risks to hurricanes, offering mitigation techniques, and provide a summary and some management conclusions. As tensions increase because of conflicting standards, misunderstandings, and contradictory ideals and actions, we put our economy and quality of life at risk. Sound decision-making begins with asking the right questions. This book addresses these questions within the context of sustainability and thus their influence on the future of Hawai‘i.
