Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labor Conditions in Hawaii: Letter From the Secretary of Labor Transmitting the Fifth Annual Report of the Commissioner of Labor Statistics on Labor Conditions in the Territory of Hawaii for the Year 1915 Skilled American and part-hawaiian mechanics in Honolulu earn from $3 to $5 a day, and unskilled laborers and helpers are paid and $2 a day. Working people of this class live in small frame cottages, not so good as the houses occupied by town and village workers Of the same grade in our colder American climate, but preferable as homes to many of the tenements occupied by the un skilled laboring population Of our large cities. Clothing costs more per article but less per individual than on the mainland. Little fuel is used except for cooking, and table expenses vary with the manner as well as the standard of living - this depending upon the propor tion of imported food the taste Of the workingman demands. The general condition of Hawaiian workers presents no evidence Of economic hardship, though individual instances of such hardship doubtless occur. Beneath the surface also there must lurk traces Of the struggle attending the displacement Of white and Hawaiian by oriental labor, which has continued ever since Asiatics began to leave field work for other occupations. However, this displacement has been caused by social antipathies almost as much as by economic competition, and data relating to its various phases are largely conjectural. Rural labor conditions are standardized by the nearly uniform practice of sugar plantations, and here we enter the realm Of more exact information. Sugar plantations employ so large a part Of the rural laboring population that other employers are obliged to con form to their labor standards. Moreover these plantations keep a statistical record of their labor history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 1995-02-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1886 and 1924 thousands of Japanese journeyed to Hawaii to work the sugarcane plantations. First the men came, followed by brides, known only from their pictures, for marriages arranged by brokers. This book tells the story of two generations of plantation workers as revealed by the clothing they brought with them and the adaptations they made to it to accommodate the harsh conditions of plantation labor. Barbara Kawakami has created a vivid picture highlighted by little-known facts gleaned from extensive interviews, from study of preserved pieces of clothing and how they were constructed, and from the literature. She shows that as the cloth preferred by the immigrants shifted from kasuri (tie-dyed fabric from Japan) to palaka (heavy cotton cloth woven in a white plaid pattern on a dark blue background) so too their outlooks shifted from those of foreigners to those of Japanese Americans. Chapters on wedding and funeral attire present a cultural history of the life events at which they were worn, and the examination of work, casual, and children's clothing shows us the social fabric of the issei (first-generation Japanese). Changes that occurred in nisei (second-generation) tradition and clothing are also addressed. The book is illustrated with rare photographs of the period from family collections.
