This revision of Mitsugu Matsuda's Japanese in Hawaii, 1868-1967: An Annotated Bibliography of the First Hundred Years, calls attention to writings which are available to students and individuals interested in Americans of Japanese ancestry. The materials range from scholarly pieces based on traditional academic sources for documentation to literature found in newspapers, novels, and general periodicals which have historic, biographic, or general descriptive value. The primary purpose of this bibliography is to provide a reference guide for the undergraduate, English speaking student who is attempting to understand the Japanese American experience in Hawaii. Consequently, two criteria were established for the listing of materials in this work. First of all, it was felt that a usable guide include only those materials which were in English; however, Japanese language entries from Matsuda's original work were reprinted in the Appendix for researchers who may find such information valuable. Second, writings were selected based on their general availability. Also included in this publication were selected entries from Judith Rubano's bibliograhy Culture and Behavior in Hawaii (Number 3 in the Hawaii Series). Where applicable, this work has been integrated into the present bibliography. (Author/JM)
