Hawaii and its race problem
Washington DC: Government Printing Office, 1932. 8vo, pp. x, 130, [2]; text illustrations throughout; yellow pictorial cloth; some soiling to boards, else fine. Inscribed on free endpaper by Raymond C. Brown, then secretary of Hawaii, to Mildred Leo. Clemens: "I didn't write the book, but traveled, (?), about the Islands with Mr. Du Puy and have had sufficient contact with its contents to autography a copy for my good friend Mildred." The introduction to the book makes direct reference to the Massie Trial and the murder of Joseph Kahahawai Jr. as its impetus for investigating the race relations in Hawaii. Its conclusions are largely that, "It has not been shown that [minority] groups, if they came to dominance, would not provide satisfactory government. It can hardly be argued, under the American form of government, that, as a majority, they would not have the right to rule. And all that any of these groups know of government is based on the American model." Item #73069
