| Every Grain of Rice: Portraits of Maui’s Japanese Community |
By Rita Goldman.
This attractive book traces Maui’s Japanese community from early immigration through the Democratic revolution of the 1960s. The book is filled with treasured photos, much like a community photo album, and tells the compelling story that celebrates a time and people whose lives are interwoven with the history of Maui.
Author Rita Goldman, a resident of Haiku, Maui, spent five years researching and writing the book. She pored over a century of newspaper microfiche, interviewed Mauians of Japanese ancestry, and collected hundreds of archival and family photos to tell the stories of soldiers and shopkeepers, cowboys and teachers, champion athletes and those who toiled in Maui’s cane fields and pineapple canneries. Wherever possible, the stories are told in the words of the people who lived them.
Hardbound: 240 pp. B/w photos.
