Terrorism in paradise / Bill Fernandez. by Fernandez, William J., author. [Kauai] : Makani Kai Media, [2019] Subjects Plantation workers -- Hawaii -- Fiction.   Sugar plantations -- Hawaii -- Fiction.   Murder -- Investigation -- Hawaii -- Fiction.   Kauai (Hawaii) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780999032688 (paperback) Description:  xvii, 266 pages : illustrations, maps, 23 cm Requests:  2 Summary:  "The clash of communism and capitalism in Hawaii brought death to plantation workers in the 1920s in an era when union organizing efforts in many countries pushed for living wages, worker safety, and healthy living conditions--time to stop making the working man a mere tool to produce wealth. In the islands, plantations applied the rule: "Divide and conquer" by importing workers from different countries to ensure language differences that would make it impossible to organize. Strikers were fired, kicked out of plantation housing, and new workers who spoke different languages replaced them in the fields. Tension increased as the chaos seemed destined to lead to violence. Historical novel hero, Grant Kingsely, feels the personal sting of violence when an explosion strikes a family member. Was the killer a plantation worker or someone else who suffered from capitalist oppression and is seeking revenge?"--Page [4] of cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Kapaa Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Fernandez Lost 10/04/2022 Add Copy to MyList Library For The Blind and Print Disabled Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList
