Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical context of language schools in Hawaii and the debate surrounding their role in fostering American values among Japanese-American children. The author argues that the abolition of these schools would be counterproductive, as it would alienate the Japanese community and hinder the integration of its members into American society. Instead, the author proposes a more nuanced approach that regulates language schools while respecting the cultural heritage of Japanese-Americans. The book draws on historical examples and personal anecdotes to illustrate the complex relationship between language, identity, and Americanization, and sheds light on the ongoing challenges of multiculturalism in the United States.

They hosted gatherings for leading figures at the Outrigger Canoe Club in Hawaii, which Ford had founded in 1908 to revive and preserve surfing on boards and in outrigger canoes.
