The first strange place

the alchemy of race and sex in World War II Hawaii

by

Hundreds of thousands of men and women went to Hawaii during World War II expecting a Hollywood image of "paradise." What they found was radically different : a complex crucible in which diverse elements--social, racial, sexual--were mingled and transmuted in the heat and strain of war.
