Cane Fires by Gary Okihiro

A history of a systematic anti-Japanese movement in Hawaii from the time migrant workers were brought to the sugar cane fields until the end of World War II
"Okihiro's account is an important corrective to our understanding of the Japanese American Experience in World War II"
The Hawaiian Journal of History
"Scholars of American race relations will want to read this book. So will anyone interested in Hawaii's history or in the experiences of Japanese or Asian Americans. It will go far in putting to rest any residual notion that the WWII experiences of the Japanese Americans represented 'aberration' or 'hysterical' reaction to wartime exigencies."
Franklin S. Odo, University of Hawaii at Manoa

"A well-researched and well-written treatment of the subject."
Library Journal
