Sugar Town: Hawaii Plantation Days Remembered
Description:
The heartwarming autobiography of Yasushi "Scotch" Kurisu tells the story of the historic sugar cane communities along the Hilo Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii--from the boom years of the early 20th Century through the industry's postwar decline and virtual disappearance in the 1980s. More than 70 archival photographs illustrate these poignant, often humorous, anecdotes and vignettes of laborers from around the world--immigrants who worked the canefields and sugar mills and came of age in the plantation camps of the Hilo Coast. Sugar Town is a story told straight from the heart, a story that captures the spirit of a bygone era.
