DESCRIPTION:Japanese immigrant laborers comprised the majority of Hawaiian 
 sugar plantation workers after their large-scale importation as contract w
 orkers in 1885. They composed unique folk songs called&nbsp\;<em>holehole 
 bushi</em> &nbsp\;which merged melodies with lyrics about work\, life\, an
 d the global connection which they clearly perceived after arriving.&nbsp\
 ;\n\n While many are songs of lamentation\, others reflect a rapid adaptat
 ion to a new society in which other ethnic groups were arranged in untidy 
 hierarchical order - the origins of a unique multicultural social order do
 minated by an oligarchy of white planters.\n\nIn&nbsp\;<em>Voices From the
  Canefields: Folksongs from Japanese Immigrant Workers in Hawai'i</em> \, 
 Dr. Franklin Odo situates over 200 translated songs in their unexplored hi
 storical context.\n\nAdvanced reservations are recommended for most progra
