Ideally positioned geographically and socially, Hawaii became a showplace of Japanese culture in the period between the world wars. Ethnic Japanese were the largest and most influential immigrant group there but the US maintained its control and, although the Japanese presence was duly noted, native-born Americans and their government assumed Hawaii was rightfully theirs. Davidann (history, Hawaii Pacific U.) examines the strained relations of the Japanese and Americans in Hawaii and elsewhere. He is particularly careful to explain why diplomats and politicians on both sides regarded Hawaii as a sort of way station between them, with college exchange programs, trade and business opportunities bridging the gap between Japan's intentions to make the US know of its growing power and the US's intentions of keeping a strategically important piece of land within the fold.
