"[The book] demonstrates that from the days of the early plantation society, Japanese American men and women resisted racial oppression through labor organizing and movements to revitalize their cultural identity. In this way, Okamura's work demonstrates the complex interplay between race, class, and gender in shaping the emergent Japanese American ethnic identity. These collective experiences of struggle and resistance laid the foundation for the Japanese American community's transition from a racialized minority to a powerful ethnic group during the quarter century after World War II.--Michael Jin ""Hawaiian Journal of History, Vol. 49 (2015)"""
