From Kona to Yenan: The Political Memoirs of Koji AriyoshiUniversity of Hawaii Press, 01.01.2000 - 225 Seiten "After returning to Hawai'i, Ariyoshi plunged into union activities and, most notably, the editing of the Honolulu Record, the voice of labor during the turbulent and bitter postwar conflicts between unions and Hawai'i's ruling elites. Following his 1951 arrest on charges of being a Communist, Ariyoshi became known as one of the "Hawai'i Seven" and spent the next year writing "My Thoughts for which I Stand Indicted" for the Record. The present volume gathers together in one place this energetic, thoughtful, and engaging work chronicling a life lived at the center of events that transformed Hawai'i, America, China, and the world."--BOOK JACKET. |
