Revolt in Paradise, the Social Revolution in Hawaii After Pearl Harbor (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781024112146)

"Revolt in Paradise" examines the profound social upheaval that occurred in Hawaii following the attack on Pearl Harbor. As martial law descended and the islands became a critical military outpost, the existing social hierarchy was challenged by the influx of mainland soldiers and the growing power of organized labor. Alexander MacDonald delves into the complex dynamics of race, class, and power that fueled this transformation, revealing how the war years irrevocably altered Hawaiian society. This book offers a compelling narrative of a little-known aspect of World War II history, highlighting the resilience and agency of the Hawaiian people in the face of extraordinary circumstances.
