From Race to Ethnicity by Jonathan Y Okamura

From Race to Ethnicity by Jonathan Y Okamura

The first book in more than years to discuss critically the historical and contemporary experiences of Hawaiis Japanese Americans. Given that race was the organising principle of social relations in Hawaii and was followed by ethnicity beginning in the 1970s, the book interprets these experiences from racial and ethnic perspectives.

“[The book] demonstrates that from the days of the early plantation society, Japanese American men and women resisted racial oppression through labor organizing and movements to revitalize their cultural identityIn this way, Okamura’s work demonstrates the complex interplay between race, class, and gender in shaping the emergent Japanese American ethnic identity. These collective experiences of struggle and resistance laid the foundation for the Japanese American community’s transition from a racialized minority to a powerful ethnic group during the quarter century after World War II.” - Michael Jin, Hawaiian Journal of History, Vol. 49 (2015)

Jonathan Y. Okamura is professor emeritus in the Department of Ethnic Studies, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.
