Deeply traditional in their thinking but inherently pragmatic by nature, Japanese immigrants in Hawaii were driven by conviction to unite under the mantra, "For the Sake of the Children!" to commit to raising their island-born children as full-fledged Americans irrevocably committed to America's highest ideals.

Claus Spreckels (1828–1908) emigrated from his homeland of Germany to the United States with only seventy-five cents in his pocket, built a sugar empire, and became one of the richest Americans in history alongside John D. Rockefeller, Warren Buffett, and Bill Gates. Migrating to San Francisco after the gold rush, Spreckels built the largest sugar beet factory of its kind in the United States. His sugar beet production in the Salinas Valley changed the focus of valley agriculture from dry to irrigated crops, resulting in the vast modern agricultural-industrial economy in today’s “Salad Bowl of the World.” When Spreckels gave America its first sugar cube, he became the “Sugar King.” The indomitable Spreckels was a colorful and complicated character on both sides of the Pacific. A kingpin in the development of the Hawai‘i-California sugarcane industry, he wielded a clenched fist over Hawai‘i’s economy for nearly two decades after occupying a position of unrivaled power and political influence with the Hawaiian monarchy, while also advancing major technology developments on the islands. The Sugar King’s legacy continued as the Spreckels family developed large portions of California, building and breaking monopolies in agriculture, shipping, railroading, finance, real estate, horse breeding, utilities, streetcars, and water infrastructure, and building entire towns and cities from infrastructure to superstructure. In The Sugar King of California Sandra E. Bonura tells the rags-to-riches story of Spreckels’s role in the developments of the sugarcane industry in the American West and across the Pacific, triumphing in a milieu rife with cronyism and corruption and ultimately transforming California’s industry and labor. Harshly criticized by his enemies for ruthless business tactics but loved by his employees, he was unapologetic in his quest for wealth, asserting “Spreckels’s success is California’s success.” But there’s always a cost for single-minded determination; the legendary family quarrels even included a murder charge. Spreckels’s biography is one of business triumph and tragedy, a portrait of a family torn apart by money, jealousy, and ego.

Hawaii is without parallel as a crossroads where languages of East and West have met and interacted. The varieties of English (including neo-pidgin) heard in the Islands today attest to this linguistic and cultural encounter. "Da kine talk" is the Island term for the most popular of the colorful dialectal forms--speech that captures the flavor of Hawaii's multiracial community and reflects the successes (and failures) of immigrants from both East and West in learning to communicate in English.

This is a book of a hundred stories and life lessons: crazy; beautiful; very serious. It is of a golden life and nine near-death encounters, moving between remote camps amidst poor indigenous folk, the salt of the Earth, and the glossy skyscrapers of our cities. Mineral exploration is a strange game. It is highest technology, big dollars, outback people and their aspirations, wonderful places, and flies, dirt, mud, budget cuts and enduring friendships. Remote projects keep explorers abroad in this beautiful world, but far from families. You have time and yearning on your hands, time to think and dream. When you reach executive ranks, you deal in public ideologies about mining, government and NGOs at all levels, billions of dollars, and changing whole regions around great mines for better more than for worse. This is the easily-written story of man and manager, major public policies, and many good folk across the world.

Would a decolonial theory of Pan-Africanism that is built from below – that is, from the perspective of lived experiences of diverse African communities of practice (the publics) – facilitate the realisation of the Pan-African dream that has eluded mainstream political initiatives for decades? This book brings linguistic, cultural, and grassroots mediators of identity narratives to the well-trodden, but elusive, project of Pan-Africanism. It pulls together three distinct, yet interrelated, strands of social-scientific theorisation—language, publics, and culture—in crafting the vernacular discourse approach as a fruitful pathway for Pan-Africanism that might work for all. The vernacular discourse approach advanced in this book pays attention to the agency of local actors in carving social, cultural, and political spaces to live, to thrive, and literally, to breathe—on their own terms and in ways that sidestep identity narratives imposed by instruments of state-centric colonial ideologies. The overarching themes and arguments explored in the book are supported by ethnographic data on the language practices and experiences of African diasporas in Australia and cross-border traders sampled from three African ports of entry. By drawing attention to the largely ignored and least appreciated mediators of Pan-Africanism, the book appeals to readers who can influence policy transformation, academic practitioners, and the general interested reader.
