Summary

Challenging the dominant view of Hawai'i as a "melting pot paradise" - a place of ethnic tolerance and equality - this title examines how ethnic inequality is structured and maintained in island society. It finds that ethnicity, not race or class, signifies difference for Hawai'i's people and therefore structures their social relations.
