63 See Noel Kent's Hawaii: Islands Under the Influence for a good analysis of post-plantation
(1959-present) Hawai'i. See also, George Cooper and Gavan, Daws Land and Power in
Hawaii (Honolulu: Benchmark Books, 1985) for an analysis of the relationship between
the Democratic Party and land development in Hawai'i. Cooper and Daws point out
the predominance of the Japanese as well as the absence of Hawaiians and Filipinos as
significant actors in the post Statehood period. Finally, for a sense of the Hawaiian
Movement and its Nationalist direction toward the end of the decade see my "Hawaiians,
American Colonization, and the Quest for Independence," Social Process in Hawai'i,
31 (1984-1985): 101-137.
