Odo, Franklin (Retired Director of Smithsonian Institution Asian Pacific American Program and Acting Chief of Library of Congress, Retired Director of Smithsonian Institution Asian Pacific American Program and Acting Chief of Library of Congress)
Holehole bushi, folk songs of Japanese workers in Hawaii's plantations, describe the experiences of this particular group caught in the global movements of capital, empire, and labor during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In this book author Franklin Odo situates over two hundred of these songs, in translation, in a hitherto largely unexplored historical context.
