Fighting in Paradise: Labor Unions, Racism, and Communists in the Making of Modern Hawaii
Gerald Horne
Powerful labour movements played a critical role in shaping modern Hawaii. Based on exhaustive archival research in Hawaii, California, Washington, and elsewhere, Gerald Horne's gripping story of Hawaii workers' struggle to unionize reads like a suspense novel as it details for the first time how radicalism and racism helped shape Hawaii in the twentieth century.
