Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"The color line in the United States has historically been and continues to be White vs. Black, yet the salient strength of Raced to Death is to make evident that the color line is, more accurately, White vs. Non-White."--Karen L. Ishizuka, author of Serve the People: Making Asian America in the Long Sixties
"Okamura's work opens the door for further reflection on how this history fits into larger patterns of U.S. race relations." --Nichi Bei Weekly
"A fascinating account linking racism to colonialism, labor, and criminal justice in an unexpected setting. Okamura’s book makes it impossible to forget Hawai i when studying comparative race and ethnic relations."--Lon Kurashige, author of Two Faces of Exclusion: The Untold History of Anti-Asian Racism in the United States
