A S I WRITE these words, I realize that my professed self-image as a solitary is, if not exactly untrue, exaggerated: many people contributed in myriad ways to the making of this book. Julia Adams, Toms Almaguer, Howard Kimeldorf, and Gail Nomurathree historical sociologists and a social historian whose scholarship I truly respectformed an ideal dissertation committee. They provided guidance, criticism, enthusiasm, and, perhaps most importantly, freedom. Under no formal obligation to do so, Eduardo Bonilla-Silva and Donald Deskins also took an interest and gave crucial support. Although I thought I did at the time, only upon leaving did I fully appreciate the people with whom I went to graduate school: a critical mass of brilliant and progressive students of color and fellow travelers from both sides of State Street.

Its racist mascot and desolate surroundings notwithstanding, the University of Illinois has been a wonderful place to teach and write for the past five years and counting. I especially thank everyone in the Asian American Studies Program and the Department of Sociology for their collegiality, intelligence, and humor.

This book would not have been possible without the dedicated work of numerous archivists and librarians. In particular, I am grateful to Eugene Dennis Vrana at the Anne Rand Research Library of the International Long-shore and Warehouse Union in San Francisco; Pam Mizukami and Rae Shiraki at the Priscilla Shishido Library of the ILWU Local 142 in Honolulu; Tab Lewis at the National Archives and Records Administration in College Park, MD; William Puette at the Center for Labor Education and Research, University of Hawaii at West Oahu; and James Cartwright, Joan Hori, Dore Minatodani, Sherman Seki, and Chieko Tachihata at the University of Hawaii Libraries Special Collections. I also appreciate the assistance of many others at the Hawaii State Archives, National Archives, Bryn Mawr College, and the Universities of California (Berkeley and San Diego), Hawaii (Mnoa and West Oahu), Illinois, and Michigan. I thank labor historians Edward Beechert and Harvey Schwartz, who generously shared research material, and the officers of the ILWU, who permitted me access to the unions archival collections.

Grants and fellowships from the following institutions enabled the research, writing, and publication of this book: Department of Sociology and Rackham School of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan; Rockefeller Foundation; Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at the University of California, San Diego; Center for Ethnicities, Communities and Social Policy at Bryn Mawr College; and Asian American Studies Program, Campus Research Board, and Center on Democracy in a Multiracial Society at the University of Illinois. During two lengthy stays in Honolulu, the Department of Sociology at the University of Hawaii graciously extended office space and various courtesies. I owe much to the Bennett and Gutirrez families, who warmly opened their homes to me while I carried out research in the Bay Area.

The book benefited immensely from a wide range of readers who approached it from divers disciplinary and theoretical angles. In addition to my dissertation committee, several colleagues at UCSDYen Le Espiritu, Ross Frank, Ramn Gutirrez, George Lipsitz, and Joo H. Costa Vargasscrutinized the earliest version of the manuscript with care and encouragement. Since then, Nancy Abelmann, Julia Adams, Augusto Espiritu, J. Kehaulani Kauanui, Amanda Lewis, Ah Quon McElrath, and Gene Vrana commented on various parts. Jim Barrett, Edward Beechert, Tyrone Forman, Tom Guglielmo, Moon-Ho Jung, Bruce Nelson, Gary Okihiro, Dave Roediger, Assata Zerai, and reviewers for Columbia University Press braved through the entire manuscript. Editors Anne Routon and Leslie Kriesel expertly guided the book to its publication, even as the series for which it was originally intended unexpectedly perished.
