Question: 1920 Politics was a Republican political strategy to reassert the authority of the white race in which US state?

The following are given passages.
Context 1: Passage 1:
Fifty-state strategy
In the context of American politics, a fifty-state strategy is a political strategy which aims for progress in all states of the United States of America, rather than conceding certain states as "unwinnable"  In a presidential campaign, it is usually implemented as an appeal to a broad base of the American public in an attempt to win, even if marginally, every state, since even a marginal victory is effectively a total victory for electoral purposes  It can also refer to an overall long-term strategy for a political movement such as a political party 
This strategy is very ambitious and, when used for a specific election, is typically abandoned as the election day draws nearer  In the vast majority of cases, winning a state's popular vote for president or senator — even by a small margin — means the state's entire representation in the election goes to the victor without being divided  A fifty-state strategy requires a campaign to spend valuable resources in a rival's strongest states, when those resources could instead be concentrated in swing states that will become a total win or a total loss based on only a small difference in popular votes 

Attempts
Successful
A president has won every state three times  In 1788 and 1792, George Washington won all the electoral votes running effectively unopposed, and in 1820, James Monroe, running unopposed, carried all twenty-three states in the union at that time (although one electoral vote was cast for John Quincy Adams and two electors died prior to casting votes) 
A complete fifty-state victory has not been accomplished since the fiftieth state was admitted into the union, though there have been several landslide victories:

In 1936, Franklin D  Roosevelt carried 46 of 48 states, losing only Maine and Vermont 
In 1972, with Richard Nixon losing only Massachusetts 
In 1984, with Ronald Reagan losing only his rival's home state of Minnesota, yet only doing so by about 3,000 votes Both Nixon and Reagan also lost the District of Columbia, which has had presidential electors since the Twenty-Third Amendment in 1961 

Unsuccessful
In 1960, the first presidential election after the admission of Alaska and Hawaii, Richard Nixon pledged to visit all 50 states following his nomination at the Republican National Convention  Nixon was defeated in the general election by Democrat John F  Kennedy, in one of the closest presidential campaigns in American history  Many observers and commentators in succeeding years, such as Larry Sabato, have criticized Nixon's fifty-state pledge as a factor in his loss, suggesting that it forced him to place less emphasis on close states  Eight years later, in 1968, Nixon ran for president again and won a three-way race against Democrat Hubert Humphrey and independent candidate George Wallace  His achievement of visiting every state in his previous campaign made Nixon the first president ever to accomplish this task, though not during a winning campaign 

Mixed results
Howard Dean pursued an explicit "fifty-state strategy" as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, putting resources into building a Democratic Party presence even where Democrats had been thought unlikely to win federal positions, in hopes that getting Democrats elected to local and state positions, and increasing awareness of Democrats in previously conceded areas, would result in growing successes in future elections  Democrats who supported the strategy have said that abandoning "red states" as lost causes only allowed the Republican Party to grow even stronger in areas where it was unchallenged, resulting in lopsided losses for Democrats in even more races During the 2008 United States presidential election, Barack Obama attempted a form of the fifty-state strategy to reach into deep red states to try to flip them  This was largely based on Obama's appeal during the primaries in very Republican states, like those in the Deep South and the Great Plains  In September, Obama scaled back his fifty-state strategy, abandoning Alaska and North Dakota and reducing staff in Georgia and Montana  John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate made winning Alaska very unlikely for Obama, and she also had strong support in North Dakota  Obama was ultimately able to win Virginia and Indiana, two states that had not voted Democratic since 1964, and North Carolina, last won by a Democrat in 1976  Virginia has since become a reliably Democratic state  Additionally, the margins of victory in North Dakota, Georgia, and Montana were considerably closer than they had been in 2004

Territory of Hawaii
The Territory of Hawaii or Hawaii Territory (Hawaiian: Panalāʻau o Hawaiʻi) was an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from April 30, 1900, until August 21, 1959, when most of its territory, excluding Palmyra Island, was admitted to the United States as the 50th U S  state, the State of Hawaii  The Hawaii Admission Act specified that the State of Hawaii would not include Palmyra Island, the Midway Islands, Kingman Reef, and Johnston Atoll, which includes Johnston (or Kalama) Island and Sand Island On July 4, 1898, the United States Congress passed the Newlands Resolution authorizing the U S  annexation of the Republic of Hawaii, and five weeks later, on August 12, Hawaii became a U S  territory  In April 1900 Congress approved the Hawaiian Organic Act which organized the territory  United States Public Law 103-150 adopted in 1993, (informally known as the Apology Resolution), acknowledged that "the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii occurred with the active participation of agents and citizens of the United States" and also "that the Native Hawaiian people never directly relinquished to the United States their claims to their inherent sovereignty as a people over their national lands, either through the Kingdom of Hawaii or through a plebiscite or referendum" Hawaii's territorial history includes a period from 1941 to 1944, during World War II, when the islands were placed under martial law  Civilian government was dissolved and a military governor was appointed 

Background
Upon the overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani in January 1893, the Committee of Safety established the Provisional Government of Hawaii and set out to effect Hawaii's speedy annexation by the United States  A commission, led by Lorrin A  Thurston, was sent to Washington D C  to negotiate an annexation treaty with President Benjamin Harrison  A delegation led by Princess Victoria Kaʻiulani also went to Washington to protest the overthrow and to lobby against annexation 
Harrison and the commission signed a treaty of annexation, which was sent to the U S  Senate for approval  In March 1893, before the Senate could ratify it, Grover Cleveland took office  The new president was an anti-imperialist and strongly opposed to annexation  He withdrew the treaty from consideration, ordered a congressional investigation into the events surrounding the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, and, after receiving the committee's first report, recommended the restoration of Liliʻuokalani as queen  This did not go over well from even his own party   Eventually a bi-partisan vote called for a "hands off" policy in regards to internal events in Hawaii  Further investigation by Congress led to the Morgan Report, which established that the actions of U S  troops stationed in Hawaii during the coup had been completely neutral, and exonerated the U S  military from any accusations of complicity with the overthrow 

The provisional government convened a constitutional convention  to establish the Republic of Hawaii  Thurston was urged to become the nation's first president but he was worried his brazen personality would damage the cause of annexation  The more conservative Sanford B  Dole, former Supreme Court Justice and friend of Queen Liliʻuokalani, was elected as the first and only president of the new regime Hawaii's strategic location to support the Spanish–American War in the Philippines made it especially important to American interests, as argued by naval strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan  This and fears that the Empire of Japan would seize control of the islands provided momentum for the proponents of annexation  On July 4, 1898, the U S  Congress passed a joint resolution to provide for annexing of Hawaii to the United States  The resolution, commonly known as the Newlands Resolution (named after  Congressman Francis Newlands), was signed into law three days later by President McKinley and came into effect on August 12, 1898  The Newlands Resolution states,

Whereas, the Government of the Republic of Hawaii having, in due form, signified its consent, in the manner provided by its constitution, to cede absolutely and without reserve to the United States of America, all rights of sovereignty of whatsoever kind in and over the Hawaiian Islands and their dependencies, and also to cede and transfer to the United States, the absolute fee and ownership of all public, Government, or Crown lands, public buildings or edifices, ports, harbors, military equipment, and all other public property of every kind and description belonging to the Government of the Hawaiian Islands, together with every right and appurtenance thereunto appertaining: Therefore,Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That said cession is accepted, ratified, and confirmed, and that the said Hawaiian Islands and their dependencies be, and they are hereby, annexed as a part of the territory of the United States and are subject to the sovereign dominion thereof, and that all and singular the property and rights hereinbefore mentioned are vested in the United States of America 
A formal ceremony marking the transfer of Hawaiian state sovereignty to the United States was held on August 12 on the steps of the ʻIolani Palace in Honolulu where the Hawaiian flag was lowered and the American flag was raised in its place 

The Resolution also provided for the establishment of a five-member commission to study what new laws were needed regarding the management and disposition of public lands in Hawaii, and to develop a frame of government for the islands  It was composed of: Sanford B  Dole (who, under the terms of the Resolution, retained the powers he previously exercised as President of Hawaii), Walter F  Frear (who likewise remained Judge of the Supreme Court of Hawaii), along with U S  senators Shelby M  Cullom (R-Illinois) and John T  Morgan (D-Alabama), and representative Robert R  Hitt (R-Illinois)  The commission's final report was submitted to Congress for a debate which lasted over a year  Many Southern congressmen and senators raised objections to establishing an elected territorial government in Hawaii, as doing so would open a pathway for the admission of a state with a "non-white" majority population at a time when strict "Jim Crow laws" mandating racial segregation in all public facilities were in force throughout the American South 

Organic Act
In early 1900 Congress passed an Act To provide a government for the Territory of Hawaii, which was signed into law by President William McKinley on April 30, 1900  This organic act established the office of governor of Hawaii  Territorial governors were appointed by the president of the United States with the advice and consent of the U S  Senate  They served for four years, unless removed sooner by the president 

Territorial governors
The organic act also created a bicameral Hawaii Territorial Legislature, consisting of a lower chamber House of Representatives and the upper chamber, the Senate, with its members elected by popular vote 
A Territorial Supreme Court of several justices/judges led by a Chief Justice, and additional appellate courts, also appointed by the President with the constitutional "advice and consent" of the Senate 
The Act also provided as with the other several Federal territories for a non-voting Delegate to the United States Congress, seated and with offices and the otherwise usual rights and privileges of a U S  Representative in the United States House of Representatives

Congressional delegates
Representation in the U S  House of Representatives was limited to a single, non-voting delegate:

Tourism
Hawaii's tourism industry began in 1882 when Matson Navigation Company, founded by William Matson, began sailing vessels between San Francisco and Hawaii carrying goods  His transports encouraged him to purchase passenger steamships that would carry tourists hoping to vacation in Hawaii from the United States mainland Matson's fleet included the SS Wilhelmina, rivaling the best passenger ships serving traditional Atlantic routes  With the boom in interest of Hawaiian vacations by America's wealthiest families in the late 1920s, Matson added the SS Mariposa, SS Monterey and SS Lurline (one of many Lurlines) to the fleet 
Matson Navigation Company operated two resort hotels in Honolulu near royal grounds  The first (and for a time the only) hotel on Waikīkī was the Moana Hotel which opened in 1901  As the first hotel in Waikīkī, the Moana Hotel was nicknamed the "First Lady of Waikīkī "  The hotel gained international attention in 1920 when Edward, Prince of Wales and future King Edward VIII of the United Kingdom, stayed as a guest 
In 1927, the luxurious Royal Hawaiian Hotel, informally called the "Pink Palace of the Pacific," opened for business  It was the preferred Hawaii residence of President Franklin D  Roosevelt when he visited Hawaii during World War II 

Military bases
With annexation, the United States saw Hawaii as its most strategic military asset  McKinley and his successor U S  President Theodore Roosevelt expanded the military presence in Hawaii and established several key bases, some still in use today  By 1906, the entire island of Oahu was being fortified at the coastlines with the construction of a "Ring of Steel," a series of gun batteries mounted on steel coastal walls  One of the few surviving batteries completed in 1911, Battery Randolph, is today the site of the U S  Army Museum of Hawaii List of Territorial Installations:

Industrial boom and the "Big Five"
As a territory of the United States, sugarcane plantations gained a new infusion of investment  By getting rid of tariffs imposed on sugarcane sent to the continental United States, planters had more money to spend on equipment, land and labor  Increased capital resulted in increased production  Five kingdom-era corporations benefited from annexation, becoming multimillion-dollar conglomerations: Castle & Cooke, Alexander & Baldwin, C  Brewer & Co , American Factors (later Amfac), Theo H  Davies & Co  Together, the five companies dominated the Hawaiian economy as the "Big Five "

Pineapples and Hawaii
James Dole, also known as the Pineapple King, arrived in Hawaii in 1899  He purchased land in Wahiawa and established the first pineapple plantation in Hawaii  Confident that canned pineapples could become a popular food export, Dole built a cannery near his first plantation in 1901  Hawaiian Pineapple Company, later renamed Dole Food Company, was born   With his profits soaring, Dole expanded and built a larger cannery in Iwilei near Honolulu Harbor in 1907  The Iwilei location made his main operations more accessible to labor  The cannery at Iwilei was in operation until 1991   Dole found himself in the midst of an economic boom industry  In response to growing pineapple demand in 1922, Dole purchased the entire island of Lanai and transformed the Hawaiian tropical low shrublands into the largest pineapple plantation in the world  For a long stretch of time, Lanai would produce 75% of the world's pineapple and become immortalized as the "Pineapple Island "By the 1930s, Hawaii became the pineapple capital of the world and pineapple production became its second largest industry  After World War II, there were a total of eight pineapple companies in Hawaii  Today pineapples are imported from Thailand and elsewhere; few are commercially grown in Hawaii 

Race relations
One of the most prominent challenges territorial Hawaii had to face was race relations  Intermarriage was tolerated and even sought after  Many native women married immigrant men and joined their community  By 1898, most of Hawaii's population was made up of plantation workers from China, Japan, the Philippines and Portugal  Their plantation experiences molded Hawaii to become a plantation culture  The Hawaiian Pidgin language was developed on the plantations so they all could understand each other  Buddhism and Shintoism grew to become large religions  Catholicism became Hawaii's largest Christian denomination 

Massie Trial
Race relations in Hawaii took to the national spotlight on September 12, 1931 when Thalia Massie, a United States Navy officer's wife, got drunk and alleged that she was beaten and raped  That same night, the Honolulu Police Department stopped a car and detained five men, all plantation workers  Officers took the men to Massie's hospital bedroom where she identified them  Although evidence could not prove that the men were directly involved, national newspapers quickly ran stories about the brute locals on the prowl for white women in Hawaii  The jury in the initial trial failed to reach a verdict  One of the accused was afterwards severely beaten, while another, Joseph Kahahawai, was murdered  Police caught the Kahahawai killers: Massie's husband Thomas, mother Grace Fortescue, and two sailors  Famed criminal lawyer Clarence Darrow defended them  A jury of locals found them guilty and sentenced to hard labor for ten years  Outraged by the court's punishment, the territory's white leaders as well as 103 members of Congress signed a letter threatening to impose martial law over the territory  This pressured Governor Lawrence M  Judd to commute the sentences to an hour each in his executive chambers  Hawaii residents were shocked and all of America reconsidered what they thought of Hawaii's racial diversity  The term "local" (Hawaii's non-Caucasian population) was galvanized through the Massie trial

Martial law
From 1941 to 1944, following the attack on Pearl Harbor and America's entry into World War II, Territorial Governors Joseph B  Poindexter and Ingram M  Stainback stripped themselves of their administrative powers by declaring martial law  With the territorial constitution suspended, the legislature and supreme court were also dissolved indefinitely  Military law was enforced on all residents of Hawaii  The formation of the military government was mostly done by Maj  Gen  Thomas H  Green of the U S Army Judge Advocate General's Corps, who became Military Attorney General  General Walter Short appointed himself military governor December 7, 1941  He assumed control of Hawaii and governed from ʻIolani Palace, which was quickly barricaded and fitted with trenches  He was relieved December 17 and charged with dereliction of duty, accused of making poor preparations in case of attack before the attack on Pearl Harbor 
Under martial law, every facet of Hawaiian life was under the control of the military governor  His government fingerprinted all residents over the age of six, imposed blackouts and curfews, rationed food and gasoline, censored the news and media, censored all mail, prohibited alcohol, assigned business hours, and administered traffic and special garbage collection  The military governor's laws were called General Orders  Violations meant punishment without appeal by military tribunals 
Anthony, the shadow Attorney General of the period, provides different information  The "aged and weak" Poindexter (sic), an appointed Democrat, was variously misled into surrendering his powers  Anthony does not mention fingerprinting; corroborates gasoline rationing but not food (the latter unlike the mainland); and disproves a liquor ban by showing how the military gained handsome profits by liquor permits and fees 
The military government instituted employment stasis by General Order No  91 (no leaving an employer without a letter of good standing); and the banning of courts that required witnesses and juries  Traffic violations were said to have netted prison terms and the military courts evidenced bias against civilians  There ensued a turf battle between the federal Departments of War, Justice and Interior, in which the middle one played a mediating or flip-flopping role  Indeed, it appeared War if not the Pacific Command was operating autonomously The Glockner and Seifert cases, actually two detained, naturalized Germans, tested the military's suspension of habeas corpus  In the second year of martial law, August 1943, U S  District Judge Metzger subpoenaed General Richardson as to why these two were held without charges  The General, according to General Order No  31, could have had the server arrested for bringing charges against a military person, but instead had the Marshal manhandled so as to evade summons  The prisoners were released outside of Hawaii, avoiding the implicated fall of military power 
List of Military Governors:

Walter C  Short (1941)
Delos C  Emmons (1941–1943)
Robert C  Richardson Jr  (1943–1944)

Democratic Revolution of 1954
The Democratic Revolution of 1954 was a nonviolent revolution consisting of general strikes, protests, and other acts of civil disobedience  The Revolution culminated in the territorial elections of 1954 where the reign of the Hawaii Republican Party in the legislature came to an abrupt end, as they were voted out of office to be replaced by members of the Democratic Party of Hawaii 

Hawaii 7
During the years leading up to the ousting of the Republican Party, Cold War fears brewed and the U S  was in the middle of the Second Red Scare  The FBI employed the Smith Act toward the ILWU and Communist Party of Hawaii, arresting those who would become known as the Hawaii 7 on August 28, 1951, in synchronized raids at 6:30 that morning  They were convicted in a two-year-long trial  The Hawaii 7 were eventually released in 1958

Statehood
The first Congressional bill for Hawaii statehood was proposed in 1919 by Kuhio Kalanianaole, and was based upon the argument that World War I had proved Hawaii's loyalty  It was ignored, and proposals for Hawaii statehood were forgotten during the 1920s because the archipelago's rulers believed that sugar planters' interests would be better served if Hawaii remained a territory  Following the Jones-Costigan Act, another statehood bill was introduced to the House in May 1935 by Samuel Wilder King but it did not come to be voted on, largely because FDR himself strongly opposed Hawaii statehood, while "Solid South" Democrats who could not accept non-white Congressmen controlled all the committees Hawaii resurrected the campaign in 1940 by placing the statehood question on the ballot  Two-thirds of the electorate in the territory voted in favor of joining the Union  After World War II, the call for statehood was repeated with even larger support, even from some mainland states  The reasons for the support of statehood were clear:

Hawaii wanted the ability to elect its own governor
Hawaii wanted the ability to elect the president
Hawaii wanted an end to taxation without voting representation in Congress
Hawaii suffered the first blow of the war
Hawaii's non-white ethnic populations, especially the Japanese, proved their loyalty by having served on the European frontlines
Hawaii consisted of 90% United States citizens, most born within the U S A former officer of the Honolulu Police Department, John A  Burns, was elected Hawaii's delegate to Congress in 1956  A Democrat, Burns won without the white vote but rather with the overwhelming support of Japanese and Filipinos in Hawaii  His election proved pivotal to the statehood movement  Upon arriving in Washington, D C , Burns began making key political maneuvers by winning over allies among Congressional leaders and state governors  Burns' most important accomplishment was convincing Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B  Johnson (D-Texas) that Hawaii was ready to become a state, despite the continuing opposition of such Deep Southerners as James Eastland and John Sparkman 
In March 1959, both houses of Congress passed the Hawaii Admission Act and U S  President Dwight D  Eisenhower signed it into law  On June 27, 1959, a plebiscite was held asking Hawaii residents to vote on accepting the statehood bill  The plebiscite passed overwhelmingly, with 94 3% voting in favor  On August 21, church bells throughout Honolulu were rung upon the proclamation that Hawaii was finally a US state

Passage 4:
1920 Politics (Hawaii)
1920 Politics also referred to as "Jim Crow" circa 1930, was a Democratic  political strategy to reassert the authority of the white race and promote American Anglo-Saxon values, in what was then the US Territory of Hawaii 

Strike of 1920
Before 1920 Hawaii was divided into various nationalist groups of Whites, Hawaiians, Chinese, Portuguese, Japanese, Okinawans, Filipinos, and Koreans 
At the time white nationalism by Republicans had been an acceptable position  Since annexation, Hawaii's white-dominated oligarchy comprised three branches: the HSPA and Big Five sugar plantations dominated economics, the Republican Party dominated politics, and the white minority dominated society  These organs supported each other: one important example was that the plantations were a crucial source of Republican votes  On Election Day, the crude election booths allowed plantation management to survey which worker voted Republican or not; those who did not were disciplined or fired  While several workers had the right to vote, they valued their livelihood more than their right to choose their candidate : 76 Racism was not only a social issue but more importantly an economic one  Hawaii’s plantation economy relied on the ready availability of cheap labor to work the fields, and any increase in wages was costly as pay was distributed over the large work force  For the white planters, the two largest groups — the Japanese and Filipinos — rivaled each other, dividing the labor force so that when one group went on strike the other would become strike breakers  But in 1920 the Japanese and Filipinos reconciled their differences and joined in the dual strike of 1920 

Farrington
After the 1920 strike, greater attention was given to the Asian majority  At the time, half of public school students were of Japanese ancestry  The white minority petitioned Governor Charles J  McCarthy for racial segregation to prevent their children for being exposed to what they believed to be the "corrupting influences" of the colored students  McCarthy had little sympathy for the immigrant Asian population and agreed to create English Standard Schools for whites and some Hawaiians, who were given privileges over students attending the more prevalent public schools  Republican Governor Wallace Rider Farrington came to power, stating that the “Racial elements are out of balance and seriously in need of adjusting” : 93  Republicans feared that a united labor force would take over the economy and eventually the political system, overturning the plantation economy, race hierarchy, and social values of Hawaii  The previous strategy known as Divide-and-Control had failed  Republicans created a new strategy to prevent majority rule  Divide-and-Control was unstable since it relied on different ethnicities confronting each other  Instead of Divide-and-Control, where Japanese identity was the center of the Japanese community and the Filipino identity was the center of the Filipino community, the 1920 Politics strategy was to Americanize the Japanese and Filipino communities to disconnect them from their own identity, to adopt a Western identity and to further the power of the white population 
The Filipinos were considered a mongrel race, the result of Asian and Hispanic mixing that produced a primitive people of low intelligence  People of Japanese origin were regarded as a pure race and better organized, despite being described as "paganistic barbarians"  Armed with this logic, Republicans decided to assimilate the Japanese first and then the Filipinos  The logic of the campaign was that, after the Japanese had been assimilated, the Filipinos, with their limited mental capacity, would be too weak to oppose the movement  If they concentrated on trying to assimilate the Filipinos first, it was likely that they would turn to the Japanese to arrange resistance to the campaign  Even if the Filipinos were broken, the Republicans would still have to challenge the Japanese who had organized the Filipinos 

Japanese
Farrington’s strategy was to target the schools and the next generations while the plantations dealt with the adults by promoting Christianity, thereby converting the ethnically Japanese population to the predominant American religion 
Immigrants to Hawaii usually encountered Christian groups proselytizing to newcomers, but with plantation owners allowing high tolerance for the immigrants’ culture, these immigrants continued to follow their own religions  During the strike of 1920, Buddhist and Shinto churches took the risk of supporting the striking workers  Christian churches on the other hand wanted to maintain good relations with the plantation owners and opposed the strike 
A solution was proposed by Umetaro Okumura as a means to assimilate the Japanese population: with his father Reverend Takie Okumura, he proposed evangelicalizing the Japanese community  Once converted to Christianity, the planters could manipulate the Japanese through the churches and discourage their workers from criticizing poor conditions, leaving the labor force, requesting pay raises, and creating unions  An additional advantage to Okumura was if he was effective in converting the Japanese community into a Christian fundamentalist society, it gave him the opportunity to become the theocratic leader over the Japanese 
The white oligarchy believed that Japanese would always believe another ethnic Japanese, this being a primitive but effective defense amongst a people of limited intelligence  Believing Takie Okumura could gain acceptance as a Japanese and infiltrate the Japanese community to carry out his agenda, the oligarchy gave its support to Okumura  He received support from planters brothers William and George Castle, former Republican governors George Carter, Walter Frear, and the governor at that time, Farrington  In exchange for higher productivity the Evangelical churches would be financially secured by the plantations and Republican would give government support in the spread and influence of Christianity 
Okumura was an avid opponent of the unions, and he refused to shelter or aid strikers following the evictions  His philosophy was that to use labor unions to challenge the white-dominated power structure might produce immediate gains but at a long-term loss, as a hostile relationship with the power holders would cause difficulties in the future  Instead, he believed in enduring the immediate hardships and accepting white-dominated authorities, becoming Americanized and Christianized, so that they could say ‘your country is my country; your God is my God’  Okumura believed deeply in the rule of law, and under the Republican administration he made a crusade of ridding Honolulu of prostitution and gambling  Since 1919, labor unions had been categorized as organized crime  To Okumura, they were the rural counterpart to Honolulu’s syndicates and the unionists and pagan priests that supported them were no better than the pimps and gangsters of Honolulu 
In 1921, Farrington applied new requirements for school emphasizing the teaching of English Language, American History, and democracy : 309  In 1923, the Government passed Act 30, Act 171, and in 1925 Act 152  The Acts limited the range of subjects taught and put financial pressure on Foreign language schools  Okumura was appointed to a committee to regulate the Language school text books 
In January 1921, Okumura began an “Education Campaign” to coax Japanese into Christianity by attempting to persuade them of its similarities to Japanese culture and to promote a strong work ethic  Okumura initially convinced Buddhists clergy and Japanese businessmen to support the program, believing Okumura was taking an initiative to reconcile tensions between the two faiths and join together to alleviate hostilities between Whites and Japanese 
The campaign was flawed from the start, since it was known that Okumura opposed the 1920 strike and sided with planters  It was also known that the plantations were providing Okumura and his colleagues with facilities and paying their expenses, Okumura’s close relations with the planters raising distrust amongst the Japanese  The Japanese unionists began to reject Okumura as a “traitor” and “betrayer”  Many did not go the programs and those who did found it taught them to become subservient workers  Amongst Okumura’s teachings was to reject materialism and value their role in society  However, this approach met with an adverse reaction from an audience with few possessions and low social status, and Okumura was accused of being a propagandist for the wealthy social elite  Buddhist priests were irate to discover the Christian agenda to convert Buddhists and that Umetaro Okumura was discussing with the planters the ways to restrict Buddhist practices and close Buddhist churches on plantation land  Okumura was also known for his offensive remarks toward Buddhists, in which he described them as “alien” and “pagan”  Instead of attracting the Japanese to Christianity to correct their supposed spiritual flaws, the criticisms deepened their devotion to Buddhism or Shinto and their rejection of Christianity The integration program was based largely on the Haole-Hawaiian Alliance : 311  Since the missionaries of the 1820s, the Hawaiian religion, which was regarded as "primitive", was easily overcome by Christianity  Hawaiians had disowned their heritage, traded Hawaiian values for American values, and adopted English, driving the Hawaiian language to near extinction  Hawaiians were regarded as the proper colored Americans and model second class citizens, and for this they were given opportunities and rewards for their subservience  But in the eyes of the Evangelicals, the Japanese were frustratingly irrational, voluntarily subjecting themselves to unnecessary hardship and discrimination by their refusal to forgo their heritage and religious beliefs  The Evangelicals believed that what they regarded as the Japanese community's mutinous and hostile attitudes were what kept them third-class citizens and barred them for the advantages enjoy by other Hawaiians 
The foreign languages controversy was decided by the U S  Supreme Court in 1927 in Farrington v  Tokushige  A judgement was made on Farrington's and the Republicans' interpretation of American values, that certain people who deserved freedoms should receive them, while those whom they believed to have abused their rights should not  The languages schools were believed to be an abuse of the American freedom to perpetuate un-American views  The case was regarded as exposing hypocritical attitudes and for being an embarrassment, and the Supreme Court disagreed with the Hawaiian government and found Farrington violating the same values he was imposing  For Farrington and the Republicans, Okumura proved himself a liability more than an asset, and they disassociated themselves from him 
With little progress and after the publicizing of the result of the Supreme Court case, the Planters reanalyzed the Education Campaign and began to doubt Okumura's effectiveness, and complained he had made the Japanese more skeptical of American culture, and more belligerent, than before  The Planters even accused Okumura of being a double agent, because rather than making the Japanese submissive workers and solving the "Japanese Problem", he appeared to have exacerbated the conflict and put Whites and Japanese further at odds  The planters discontinued funding Okumura’s campaign in 1927 and Okumura ended it in 1929 

Judd
Shortly before Lawrence M  Judd became governor, in July 1929, a series of events revived 1920 Politics  In 1928 a ten-year-old white boy named George Gill Jamieson was kidnapped and murdered by a 19-year-old Japanese man, Myles Fukunaga, who was executed after Judd became governor  In 1931, a white woman named Thalia Massie, claimed to have been raped by five or six Hawaiians  In a separate incident on the same night of the rape, five non-white men were put on trial, which ended in a hung jury  After the trial, one suspect, Horace Ida, was beaten, and another was shot and killed  The killers of the latter, Joseph Kahahawai, involved Massie’s mother and husband and two other navy men  After pressure from Congress and the white community, Judd communed their sentences of 10 years to one hour in his office  The Japanese compared the petition for clemency of Fukunaga, a colored man, who killed a white person, to Massie’s parents and cohorts: whites, who had killed a colored person  Not even the white community was satisfied with the uneven handling of the two cases  Judd was criticized for giving a commutation, not a pardon, and although the difference in the two rulings was negligible, it was widely believed that Judd was not committed to the belief that Massie’s avengers should be punished for their crime 
Following these events, Judd and the Republican government had to reassure the white minority in Hawaii, and whites nationally, of their safety  Under Farrington, the Hawaiians were exempted from the 1920 Politics by the Haole-Hawaiian Alliance  But after the Massie Affair, doubts arose over entrusting the power of authority to the Hawaiians  Under Alliance, Hawaiians were able to receive government jobs which had included police officers and prison guards  But, after examining these positions, U S  Attorney General Seth Richardson found an incompetent police force and sympathetic prison guards  The Hawaiians had betrayed the trust of the white leadership to carry out their demands, were regarded as a liability and phased out by whites : 57  Further pressure to Americanize Hawaii came from a renewed attempt at statehood 

Japanese
Under Judd, a new 1920 Politics strategy was implemented against the Japanese population, which was to ignore them  This change had several causes  Judd had learned from Farrington’s social attack, which had been intended to subordinate the Japanese community (which largely consisted of manual laborers and domestic servants), instead made them feel anti-American  Similarly, Buddhists and Shintos became anti-Christian  At the same time, whites became increasingly anti-Japanese and Christians anti-Buddhist  The attempted resolution to the problem concluded in a lawsuit that the Territory lost, thereby failing in its plan to assimilate the Japanese community through a policy of subordination 
In addition to avoiding conflict with the Japanese majority was the prospect of future statehood, and the incitement of civil unrest would not represent Hawaii positively to Congress  Furthermore, the statehood committee made a conscious effort to avoid discussion of the unassimilated Japanese 
One of the fears of the failure of the assimilation policy was soon realized: Japanese laborers left the plantations at the earliest opportunity and established their own shops and small businesses, and felt no need to assimilate as they already formed the majority of the population  Another fear arose: that if the Japanese became more politically active, their higher population size meant they would dominate the vote  Senator Hiram Bingham III, grandson of Hiram Bingham I, preferred the islands of his birth to remain in Caucasian hands rather than let democracy shift power into the hands of the Japanese  In 1932, he proposed a possible solution to Congress, in a bill to make Hawaii a military territory under the U S  Navy  It would have discontinued elections until Hawaii could be settled by Caucasians For many Japanese in the 1930s, minimal privacy at the voting stations, voter intimidation by Republicans that risked one’s job and livelihood, and a choice between anti-immigrant Democrats or white supremacist Republicans, resulted in more than 90% of Japanese-Americans deciding not to vote 
Under the new policy, the Japanese community was allowed to practice its traditions, culture, and religion relatively unharassed by the government, planters, and Americanizing Christian organizations, on the condition that they did not interfere with the white community  The Christian movement was met with a strong counter-movement as the Japanese rejected Christianity as a ploy by the Planters to subordinate them  This created a resurgence of Buddhism in the 1930s, which Christians dubbed “re-paganization”  Japanese businessmen helped finance Buddhists and Shinto ministries to move off the plantations to become more autonomous and form a strong Buddhist establishment  At its height, Buddhists accounted for one-third of the territory's population  Students continued to be subjected to right-wing speakers in schools, and Japanese were rewarded for showing progress in assimilating  Although the situation was judged to be far from satisfactory, the Japanese generally preferred Judd’s neglect over persecution under Farrington  Conversely, Judd received criticism by the largely white evangelical community, that Buddhists and Shintos were allowed to practice their religion freely, even in public, without being challenged or in fear of governmental interference 
By the end of the 1930s, a problem with the Haoles arose: the strategy of ignoring the Japanese meant that whites who were unaware of 1920s Politics did not consider Japanese to be a menace to American society  Some whites became interested in eastern traditions, took a curiosity in Buddhist beliefs, and considered intermarriage with Japanese people  However, concerns were expressed about what was perceived to be the erosion of traditional values by “Japanese Minded” Whites 

Filipinos
Since the Great Depression, the treatment of Filipinos was particularly harsh, as they were considered the most inferior of the Asian race  As a result, acts of defiance such as striking, unionizing, or protesting were resolved with deportation back to the Philippines  Furthermore, around 6,000 Filipinos were unemployed in Hawaii, further reducing their collective bargaining power  Unlike the Japanese, most Filipinos still worked in the plantations, and without Pablo Manlapit, the labor movement collapsed 
A product of the Great Depression was the Wagner Act that was signed into law in 1935, despite strong efforts by the Big Five and Hawaii Republicans to lobby against it  In response, Hawaii’s Republican-controlled government flatly refused to acknowledge the Act, claiming that, as Hawaii was a territory, and not a state, the law did not apply  However, in 1937, Hawaii was forced to implement the Wagner Act by the federal government 
Despite the Depression a successful wild cat strike occurred in Puunene, Maui, resulting in others strikes on Molokai, Hamakua, Kahuku, and Kekaha 

World War II
Politicians continued to wait for an answer on statehood; the 1930s turned into the 1940s with no decisive answer forthcoming, and any serious discussion of racial inequality in Hawaii remained in reserve of an affirmative decision on statehood 

Quinn
Under William F  Quinn, who became governor in 1957, senior politicians in Hawaii became open about bringing an end to 1920 Politics  Quinn was not only been a member of the Republican Club, a faction of the Party opposed to 1920 Politics, but had been the second leader of the Club  After the sweeping losses of the election of 1954, Republicans had to change their political strategy in order to survive 
Passage 5:
Uneven and combined development
Uneven and combined development (or unequal and combined development or uneven development) is a concept in Marxian political economy intended to describe dynamics of human history involving the interaction of capitalist laws of motion and starting world market conditions whose national units are highly heterogeneous  The concept is used by Marxist scholars concerned with economic development  David Harvey is an advocate of the usefulness of this theory to reconstruct historical materialism on Modern terms  It is an accepted key concept in academic economic geography 
The idea was applied systematically by Leon Trotsky around the turn of the 20th century to the case of Russia, when he was analyzing the developmental possibilities for industrialization in the Russian empire, and the likely future of the Tsarist regime in Russia  The notion was then generalized and became the basis of Trotskyist politics of permanent revolution, which implied a rejection of the Stalinist idea that a human society inevitably developed through a uni-linear sequence of necessary "stages"  Before Trotsky, Nikolay Chernyshevsky, Vasily Vorontsov, and others proposed similar ideas 

Background
Trotsky's concept was originally inspired by a series of articles by Alexander Helphand (better known as "Parvus") on "War and Revolution" in the Russian journal Iskra in 1904  At first, Trotsky intended this concept only to describe a characteristic evolutionary pattern in the worldwide expansion of the capitalist mode of production from the 16th century onwards, through the growth of a world economy which connected more and more peoples and territories together through trade, migration and investment  His focus was also initially mainly on the history of the Russian empire, where the most advanced technological and scientific developments co-existed with extremely primitive and superstitious cultures 
In the 1920s and 1930s, Trotsky increasingly generalised the concept of uneven and combined development to the whole of human history, and even to processes of evolutionary biology, as well as the formation of the human personality - as a general dialectical category 
The concept played a certain role in the fierce theoretical debates during the political conflict between the supporters of Joseph Stalin and Trotsky's Left Opposition, a debate which ranged from the historical interpretation of the Russian revolution and economic strategies for the transition to socialism, to the correct understanding of principles of Marxism 

Trotsky's theory
Different countries, Trotsky observed, developed and advanced to a large extent independently from each other, in ways which were quantitatively unequal (e g  the local rate and scope of economic growth and population growth) and qualitatively different (e g  nationally specific cultures and geographical features)   In other words, countries had their own specific national history with national peculiarities 
At the same time, all the different countries did not exist in complete isolation from each other; they were also interdependent parts of a world society, a larger totality, in which they all co-existed together, in which they shared many characteristics, and in which they influenced each other through processes of cultural diffusion, trade, political relations and various “spill-over effects” from one country to another Sociologically speaking, this had five main effects:

a more backward, older or more primitive country would adopt parts of the culture of a more advanced, or more modern society, and a more advanced culture could also adopt or merge with parts of a more primitive culture – with good or bad effects 
Cultural practices, institutions, traditions and ways of life belonging to both very old and very new epochs and phases of human history were all combined, juxtaposed and linked together in a rather unusual way, within one country 
In turn, this meant that one could not really say that different societies all developed simply through the same sort of linear sequence of necessary developmental stages, but rather that they could adopt/utilize the results of developments reached elsewhere, without going through all the previous evolutionary stages which led up to those results   Some countries could thus "skip", "telescope" or "compress" developmental stages which other countries took hundreds of years to go through, or, very rapidly carry through a modernization process that took other countries centuries to achieve 
Different countries could both aid or advance the socio-economic progress of other countries through trade, subsidies and contributing resources, or  block and brake other countries as competitors from making progress by preventing the use of capital, technology, trading routes, labour, land or other kinds of resources  In Trotsky's theory of imperialism, the domination of one country by another does not mean that the dominated country is prevented from development altogether, but rather that it develops mainly according to the requirements of the dominating country  For example, an export industry will develop around mining and farm products in the dominated country, but the rest of the economy is not developed, so that the country's economy becomes more unevenly developed than it was before, rather than achieving balanced development  Or, a school system is set up with foreign assistance, but the schools teach only the messages that the dominating country wants to hear 
The main tendencies and trends occurring at the level of world society as a whole, could be also found in each separate country, where they combined with unique local trends – but this was a locally specific “mix”, so that some world trends asserted themselves more strongly or faster, others weaker and slower in each specific country  Thus, a country could be very advanced in some areas of activity, but at the same time comparatively retarded in other areas  One effect was that the response to the same events of world significance could be quite different in different countries, because the local people attached different "weightings" to experiences and therefore drew different conclusions According to Trotsky, the unequal and combined development of different countries had an effect on the class structure of society 
For example, the Russian empire in 1917 was largely a peasant society composed of many different nationalities and governed by an absolutist state headed by the Czar; popular democracy did not exist 
A process of industrialization had begun in the main cities since Peter the Great (for example, the Putilov steel works established in Petrograd - where the February 1917 revolution began, with a strike - was the largest in the world at the time)  But this urban industrialization process relied mainly on the investment of foreign capital from France, Britain and other countries, and was limited to some urban areas and regions 
The Russian bourgeoisie which developed under the tutelage of the Czarist state lacked much power, and was politically weak  The bourgeoisie was unable to establish political democracy  At the same time, a militant industrial working class developed in the main cities, concentrated in large factories and plants 
In this way, the archaic culture of primitive peasant production and a semi-feudal state combined with the culture of modern industrial society Trotsky believed that this would shape the unique character of the Russian revolution  Namely, the Russian bourgeoisie was politically too weak and too dependent on the Czarist state to challenge its autocratic rule, and therefore the revolution against Czarist rule would be spearheaded by the revolt of urban workers 
Thus, the political and modernizing tasks normally associated in Europe with the leadership of the rising bourgeoisie, such as fighting for popular democracy and civil rights against absolutism, land ownership reform, industrializing the country, and national self-determination for oppressed nationalities, would have to be carried out in the Russian empire under the leadership of working-class parties, in particular the Russian Social-Democratic Labor Party which had been outlawed (although there were several other socialist, nationalist and liberal parties) 
In the chaos towards the end of the First World War, in which Russian soldiers fought against the imperial German army, this political assessment proved largely correct  The provisional government established by the February revolution in 1917 collapsed and the October revolution, in which the Russian Marxists played a dominant role, destroyed Czarist state power completely  Thereafter, the Russian bourgeoisie was largely expropriated; most businesses then fell under state ownership 
A new stage in Trotsky's understanding of uneven and combined development in world history was reached in his analyses of fascism and populism in Germany, France, Spain and Italy  Trotsky makes it clear, the human progress is not a linear, continuously advancing process of bourgeois modernization - progress can also be reversed or undone, and ancient cults, superstitions or barbarous traditions can be revived, even although nobody previously thought that was possible 

Rudolf Hilferding's theory
Around the time that Trotsky settled in Vienna as a journalist in exile, after escaping from Siberia a second time, the Austro-Marxist Rudolf Hilferding wrote his famous book Finance Capital (first published in 1910) in which Hilferding mentions an idea very similar to Trotsky's  The passage occurs in chapter 22 on "the export of capital and the struggle for economic territory"  It has never been proved whether Hilferding was influenced in any way by what Trotsky had written, although it is known they corresponded with each other, but Hilferding's own analysis of "the latest phase of capitalist development" certainly influenced a whole generation of socialist leaders  In any case similar notions were widespread among socialists throughout Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe at this time  Among other things, Hilferding states:The export of capital, especially since it has assumed the form of industrial and finance capital, has enormously accelerated the overthrow of all the old social relations, and the involvement of the whole world in capitalism  Capitalist development did not take place independently in each individual country, but instead capitalist relations of production and exploitation were imported along with capital from abroad, and indeed imported at the level already attained in the most advanced country  Just as a newly established industry today does not develop from handicraft beginnings and techniques into a modern giant concern, but is established from the outset as an advanced capitalist enterprise, so capitalism is now imported into a new country in its most advanced form and exerts its revolutionary effects far more strongly and in a much shorter time than was the case, for instance, in the capitalist development of Holland and England Hilferding's insight was rarely noticed by English-speaking Marxists  His book Finance Capital, which went out of print several times, was never translated into English until 1981 (i e  70 years later)  After the publication of Lenin's classic interpretation of imperialism as the highest (and final) stage of capitalism in 1917, most Marxist writers based their analyses of imperialism on Lenin's book  Even though, on several occasions throughout the book, Lenin cites Hilferding approvingly, by the time that Hilferding became Finance Minister in Germany in 1923, the Leninists regarded him as a reformist renegade, and his analyses were no longer trusted or taken seriously 

Contemporary applications
The idea of uneven and combined development, as formulated by Trotsky, as well as Lenin's "law" of uneven economic and political development under capitalism are still being used today, especially in academic studies of international relations, archaeology, anthropology and development economics, as well as in discussions of the Trotskyist movement  Such International relations schools as the world-systems theory and dependency theory have been both influenced by Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism and Trotsky's writings on the subject 

Economic geography
Geography has produced influential scholarship on the idea of uneven development  Geography started to lean left politically before the 1970s resulting in a particular interest in questions of inequality and uneven development (UD)  UD has since become somewhat of a homegrown theory in Geography as geographers have worked to explain what causes inequality within different scales of space, locally, nationally and internationally  Key scholars in this field include Doreen Massey, Neil Smith and David Harvey 
Uneven development results from the "spatially and temporally uneven processes and outcomes that are characteristic, and functional to capitalism" 
Much of neoclassical economic theory holds that features of unevenness, such as income inequality, equalizes as a result of capital diffusion throughout the open market 
Proponents argue that investment liberalization allows foreign capital to invest in capital-poor countries, yielding the highest rates of return, and that global integration promotes competitive advantage 
Neoclassical theory contends that newly globalized, liberalized and capitalized developing countries have the added advantage over developed countries in that they are able to draw on existing markets, capital flow regimes and technologies This has the effect of placing all countries on an even playing field  The result is a global economy in equilibrium, or in other words, convergence  As such, in the neoclassical view, uneven development is merely an interim stage of economic development that can be erased by the free market Marxist geographers, on the other hand, assert that uneven development is persistently produced and reproduced by capital diffusion, and therefore, is an inherent and permanent feature of capitalism  Unlike the neoliberal contention of the erasure of disparities towards convergence, Marxists maintain that capital accumulation depends on differential economic climates for its regeneration  Harvey states that accumulation "is the engine which powers growth under the capitalist mode of production  The capitalist system is therefore highly dynamic and inevitably expansionary"  The dynamism of capitalism is due to its persistent search for competitive advantage and consequently, its movement away from oversaturated economies towards new spaces from which it can extract greater profit  For instance, developed economies are characterized by high land rents and wages, and unionized labour, translating into high costs of production and lower gains  By contrast, developing economies have abundant pliable labour, and low rents and wages  As such, it is favourable for capital investments to move into the latter economy from the former in the interest of gaining greater rates of return  Kiely argues that capital diffusion throughout the global market remains a highly uneven process marked by reversals of comparative advantage and by cycles of investment and disinvestment, having the effect of elevating some spaces while simultaneously marginalizing others Differential economic environments have material effects on the ground  Processes of capital accumulation through space and time create new geographic landscapes shaped by crisis, deindustrialization and capital flight on the one hand, and influxes of capital and industrialization on the other  Capitalism not only reshuffles core-periphery relations, but rather, as Smith claims, it also penetrates all geographic scales  At the urban scale, differential rent gaps trigger investment and disinvestment in particular neighborhoods driving gentrification  On the global scale, integrated economies provoke time-space compression enabling enhanced communication and capital mobility  Smith argues that the subsequent erosion of the nation scale as the primary agent created a pivotal link between the global and urban scales  Since the 1990s, the increasingly integrated global economy has given greater importance to the role of the city  Indeed, world city building has become the geographical force of capitalism  New spaces of accumulation in Asia, Latin America and Africa are gaining competitive advantage as new centres of command and control and of surplus capital Other elements of neoliberal thought such as reducing the "left arm" of the state including welfare and support for the poor create even bigger inequalities between residents of the same areas, also resulting in uneven development 

Tom Nairn and the revival of nationalism
Marxist historian Tom Nairn has argued that uneven development can also lead to peripheral nationalism, for example in Scotland   Peripheral regions tend to promote nationalist movements when regional inequalities overlap with ethnic differences, or when membership of a larger state no longer presents advantages  In underdeveloped regions, nationalist movements mobilise the population against the persistence of ethnic economic inequality 

Helena Norberg-Hodge and uneven development in Northern India
Helena Norberg-Hodge is an economist who spent more than 30 years in Ladakh  She argues that uneven development and crises often affect people now because of past economic activities  To solve the problem, the fundamental economic approach needs change from "globalizing" to "localizing"  Localization can contribute to reduce CO2 emission, solve the economic problems, and restore biodiversity as well as cultural diversity  Localizing is one of the ways to create secure jobs in the global population 
Norberg-Hodge based her argument on her experience of witnessing changes in Ladakh, before and after the region was subsidized to enhance economic activities and promote development  The subsidies meant that products from thousands of miles away could be sold cheaper than locally made products, which destroyed the local market  It quickly lead to unemployment and religious strife  Norberg-Hodge raised critical questions about the effects of  spending on infrastructure (such as roads) intended to stimulate the economy and reduce costs, in order to achieve greater social wellbeing  The point is, that the globalized economy enables people to control other places from a far distance, without knowing the situation in the region  Large investments subsidizing the transportation system make products from thousands of miles away cheaper than locally made products  Rather than improving the local community, the local market collapses and local people lose their jobs, while investors far away make a lot of profit from business ventures that create more unequal development than there was before

Passage 6:
Cloward–Piven strategy
The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven 

History
Cloward and Piven were both professors at the Columbia University School of Social Work  The strategy was outlined in a May 1966 article in the liberal magazine The Nation titled  "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty" The two stated that many Americans who were eligible for welfare were not receiving benefits, and that a welfare enrollment drive would strain local budgets, precipitating a crisis at the state and local levels that would be a wake-up call for the federal government, particularly the Democratic Party  There would also be side consequences of this strategy, according to Cloward and Piven  These would include: easing the plight of the poor in the short-term (through their participation in the welfare system); shoring up support for the national Democratic Party-then splintered by pluralistic interests (through its cultivation of poor and minority constituencies by implementing a national "solution" to poverty); and relieving local governments of the financially and politically onerous burdens of public welfare (through a national "solution" to poverty) 

Strategy
Cloward and Piven's article is focused on forcing the Democratic Party, which in 1966 controlled the presidency and both houses of the United States Congress, to take federal action to help the poor  They stated that full enrollment of those eligible for welfare "would produce bureaucratic disruption in welfare agencies and fiscal disruption in local and state governments" that would: "   deepen existing divisions among elements in the big-city Democratic coalition: the remaining white middle class, the working-class ethnic groups and the growing minority poor  To avoid a further weakening of that historic coalition, a national Democratic administration would be constrained to advance a federal solution to poverty that would override local welfare failures, local class and racial conflicts and local revenue dilemmas "They further wrote:

The ultimate objective of this strategy—to wipe out poverty by establishing a guaranteed annual income—will be questioned by some  Because the ideal of individual social and economic mobility has deep roots, even activists seem reluctant to call for national programs to eliminate poverty by the outright redistribution of income 
Michael Reisch and Janice Andrews wrote that Cloward and Piven "proposed to create a crisis in the current welfare system – by exploiting the gap between welfare law and practice – that would ultimately bring about its collapse and replace it with a system of guaranteed annual income  They hoped to accomplish this end by informing the poor of their rights to welfare assistance, encouraging them to apply for benefits and, in effect, overloading an already overburdened bureaucracy "

Focus on Democrats
The authors pinned their hopes on creating disruption within the Democratic Party: "Conservative Republicans are always ready to declaim the evils of public welfare, and they would probably be the first to raise a hue and cry  But deeper and politically more telling conflicts would take place within the Democratic coalition   Whites – both working class ethnic groups and many in the middle class – would be aroused against the ghetto poor, while liberal groups, which until recently have been comforted by the notion that the poor are few    would probably support the movement  Group conflict, spelling political crisis for the local party apparatus, would thus become acute as welfare rolls mounted and the strains on local budgets became more severe ”

Reception and criticism
Michael Tomasky, writing about the strategy in the 1990s and again in 2011, called it "wrongheaded and self-defeating", writing: "It apparently didn't occur to [Cloward and Piven] that the system would just regard rabble-rousing black people as a phenomenon to be ignored or quashed "

Impact of the strategy
In papers published in 1971 and 1977, Cloward and Piven argued that mass unrest in the United States, especially between 1964 and 1969, did lead to a massive expansion of welfare rolls, though not to the guaranteed-income program that they had hoped for  Political scientist Robert Albritton disagreed, writing in 1979 that the data did not support this thesis; he offered an alternative explanation for the rise in welfare caseloads 
In his 2006 book Winning the Race, political commentator John McWhorter attributed the rise in the welfare state after the 1960s to the Cloward–Piven strategy, but wrote about it negatively, stating that the strategy "created generations of black people for whom working for a living is an abstraction" According to historian Robert E  Weir in 2007: "Although the strategy helped to boost recipient numbers between 1966 and 1975, the revolution its proponents envisioned never transpired "

Patrick Henry High School (Ashland, Virginia)
Patrick Henry High School is a public high school in Ashland, Virginia in Hanover County  Patrick Henry is one of four high schools in Hanover County, and the only High school in the western half of the county  In 1959, after years of deliberation, Patrick Henry High School began with the consolidation of Beaverdam, Henry Clay, Montpelier, and Rockville high schools  The western Hanover County high school enrolled students in grades eight through twelve  The name of the school, as well as the name of its literary publications, The Voice, The Spark, and The Orator, reference the history of American Founding Father Patrick Henry, Hanover County's most illustrious citizen  Even the school colors of red, white, and blue are a patriotic symbol of history 
In 1969, Patrick Henry High and John M  Gandy High School merged to form one integrated student body  Also in 1969, a new junior high school was built, and Patrick Henry opened that school year as a senior high school serving students in grades ten through twelve  When the junior high school was changed to a middle school in 1988, Patrick Henry became a high school, enrolling students in grades nine through twelve  The school campus of West Patrick Henry Road, which consists of a complex of buildings, began as a campus style school  Additions of an auditorium, classrooms, cafeteria, new gymnasium, and renovations to the media center and administrative offices resulted in an all-enclosed facility in 1992  As the population and the needs of the school have changed, so have the dimensions of the school  A new addition/renovation was added to the facility in the fall of 2001, providing state-of-the-art career and technical education opportunities  This addition consisted of a broadcasting studio, a bio-technology lab, a communication technology center, a computer-assisted drafting lab, and three classrooms  Patrick Henry celebrated its 50th anniversary in September 2009  Patrick Henry High has an International Baccalaureate program, as well as a NJROTC program

Ain't Love a Bitch
"Ain't Love a Bitch" is a song written by Gary Grainger and Rod Stewart  Stewart released it on his 1978 album Blondes Have More Fun, and it was one of four songs on the album co-written by Stewart and Grainger  The song was released as a single in 1979, reaching #11 on the UK charts, and #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States  It spent 8 weeks on the UK charts and 6 weeks on the US charts  The song also reached the Top Ten in several countries, including Ireland  Billboard magazine placed Stewart #7 on its list of the Top Single Artists of 1979 on the strength of "Ain't Love a Bitch" and its predecessor, "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" Stewart performed the song on Dave Allen's Dave Allen at Large  A video of the song was included on the DVD included in the deluxe editions of the compilation album Some Guys Have All the Luck / The Definitive Rod Stewart 

Background
Rolling Stone critic Janet Maslin excoriated the song as being "unexpectedly sensitive, with a soft, strum-along melody and a bunch of namby-pamby characters doo-doo-doing a background chorus while Stewart croons about old girlfriends "   She further criticizes the song for taking material that could have been tough and making it sound "like the 1400th cover version of 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco '" CD Review commented on the references within "Ain't Love a Bitch" to Stewart's earlier song "Maggie May", describing the music as "bouncy"  High Fidelity objected to the lyrics blaming women for love's problems  The Albany Herald also noted that the song is autobiographical, and incorporates elements from Stewart's "musical and personal past " Stereo Review described the song as a "repellent frat-house love song"  Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic described the song as being in the same mold as "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?"  Author Barry Alan Farber described the line "Ain't we all a little juvenile" as encapsulating the way people retain pieces of their adolescence into adulthood   Cash Box called it a "return to the   balladeering  of 'Tonight's The Night'" after the disco success of "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" and said the song has "gentle, soothing acoustic guitar work, strings, and light drumming "  Record World said that "The rhythm is light and [Stewart's] vocals have a music hall quality "

Chart performance
Passage 6:
Pinball Wizard
"Pinball Wizard" is a song written by Pete Townshend and performed by the English rock band the Who, featured on their 1969 rock opera album Tommy  The original recording was released as a single in 1969 and reached No  4 in the UK charts and No  19 on the U S  Billboard Hot 100 
The B-side of the "Pinball Wizard" single is an instrumental credited to Keith Moon, titled "Dogs Part Two"   Despite the title, it has no musical connection to the Who's 1968 UK single "Dogs" 

Story
The lyrics are written from the perspective of a pinball champion, called "Local Lad" in the Tommy libretto book, astounded by the skills of the opera's eponymous main character, Tommy Walker: "He ain't got no distractions / Can't hear those buzzers and bells / Don't see lights a flashin' / Plays by sense of smell / Always gets a replay / Never seen him fall / That deaf dumb and blind kid / Sure plays a mean pinball ", and "I thought I was the Bally table king, but I just handed my pinball crown to him" 
Townshend once called it "the most clumsy piece of writing [he'd] ever done"  Nevertheless, the song was a commercial success and remains one of the most recognised tunes from the opera  It was a perpetual concert favourite for Who fans due to its pop sound and familiarity 

Position on the album
In late 1968 or early 1969, when the Who played a rough assembly of their new album to critic Nik Cohn, Cohn gave a lukewarm reaction to it  Following this, Townshend, as Tommy's principal composer, discussed the album with Cohn and concluded that, to lighten the load of the rock opera's heavy spiritual overtones (Townshend had recently become deeply interested in the teachings of Meher Baba), the title character, a "deaf, dumb, and blind" boy, should also be particularly good at a certain game  Knowing Cohn was an avid pinball fan, Townshend suggested that Tommy would play pinball, and Cohn immediately declared Tommy to be a masterpiece  The song "Pinball Wizard" was written and recorded almost immediately  The single version was slightly sped up and runs to 2:57, whilst the natural length album version runs to 3:04 

Reception
Cash Box said "Pinball Wizard" was "sensational", saying "Retaining the joyful exaltation of early pop rock, the Who add a proficiency and modernization that clicks with the accuracy of a Beatles-gone-heavy " Billboard described the single as "a solid beat rocker " Record World described it as an "exciting side "

Live performances
This song is one of the band's most famous live songs, being played at almost every Who concert since its debut live performance on 2 May 1969  The live performances rarely deviated from the album arrangement, save for an occasional jam at the end sometimes leading to another song  Bootleg recordings show that this song has been known to last as long as 8 minutes (at a concert at the Rainbow Theatre in London on 3 February 1981), although live versions lasting as long as that are extremely rare  Pinball Wizard was also played during the Super Bowl XLIV Halftime Show on 7 February 2010

Charts and certifications
Elton John version
The song was performed by English musician Elton John in Ken Russell's 1975 film adaptation of Tommy  This version was released in 1975 as a promotional single only in the US, and in 1976 in the UK, where it reached number 7  Because it was not released as a commercial single in the US, it was ineligible to be listed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart  It did however make the US Radio & Records airplay chart, where it reached number 9 
John's version uses a piano as the song's centerpiece in place of the acoustic guitar in the original  In the film, John's character is shown playing his pinball machine via a small piano keyboard  His adaptation also features additional lyrics specially written by Townshend for the movie version, as well as a subtle inclusion of musical phrases from the Who's 1960s hit "I Can't Explain" during the outro  Similarly, the Who's later cover of Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" included parts of "Take Me to the Pilot"  Unlike most of the soundtrack's music, which featured various combinations of the Who and some of the era's best session players, Elton John used his own band and producer Gus Dudgeon for the track  John has performed the song as part of his Las Vegas Red Piano Show, as well as on various tours  To date, it is the only cover of a Who song to reach the top 10 The song has subsequently been performed by Taron Egerton who portrayed Elton John in the film Rocketman (2019)

Other cover versions
The song was featured in a medley with another song from Tommy ("See Me, Feel Me") in a recording by the British pop group the New Seekers in 1973  This version reached No  16 on the UK charts and in Australia, and No  28 in Canada, and No  29 on the U S  Hot 100 
In 1977, Barry Williams performed the song during a "Songs from Movies" medley on an episode of The Brady Bunch Variety Hour 
McFly released their cover of the song in 2005 as the B-side to their UK number one single "I'll Be OK"  They subsequently performed a cover of "My Generation" with Roger Daltrey that was exclusively released on HMV's new HMV Digital download store in September of that year

The Feast at Solhaug
The Feast at Solhaug (or in the original Norwegian Gildet paa Solhoug) is the first publicly successful drama by Henrik Ibsen  It was written in 1855 and had its premier at Det norske Theater in Bergen on 2 January 1856  Part of the strength and charm of this play as well as Ibsen's other early poetic works results from the style of the poetic form and the inherent melody of the old ballads for those who speak Scandinavian languages 

Plot
The play opens on the day of the feast celebrating the third wedding anniversary of the marriage of Bengt Gauteson and Margit  Erik of Hogge, a friend of Knut Gesling, the King's sheriff, and Knut himself are seeking permission for Knut to marry Margit's sister, Signe  Knut, a warlike man, is advised that he must demonstrate peaceful ways for a year before Margit will support the marriage  They are invited to the feast, under pledge that they will be peaceful that night 
They depart to look for Margit's kinsman, Gudmund Alfson, who they know to be outlawed and suspect to be nearby  Once they depart and her husband leaves, Margit speaks of her regret in marrying Bengt Gauteson, even though he was a wealthy older landowner  Her woe is captured by her phrase, "I myself am the Hill-King's wife!"
Gudmund Alfson arrives  Margit, who has loved him since he departed three years earlier, treats him poorly until she realizes that, although once close to the king, he has been outlawed and is on the run  She then dreams of marrying him and obtains poison to administer to Bengt 
Meanwhile, Gudmund speaks to Signe, who has grown up since he last saw her, expressing his love  Signe remembers him well and is most willing 
Knut returns in the evening for the feast  Finding Gudmund there, although he is the sheriff, Knut does not take Gudmund to demonstrate his intent to be peaceful, but declares that this day shall end peacefully 
They both speak together, expressing their intent to marry  After some discussion they both proclaim, and realize they woo the same woman  Since Signe loves Gudmund, Knut announces he is leaving peacefully, but will return in the morn to take Gudmund 
Magrit prepares to poison Bengt after many of the guests depart, leaving him a poisoned drink as she goes to bed  He is advised of Knut’s return and, setting aside his drink, goes to meet Knut and his men  Gudmund & Signe enter and almost drink the poison 
As Knut returns in the morning and meets Bengt who is set upon defending his household, Knut slays him  Bengt’s friends capture Knut and bring him before Margit 
The king’s men arrive  Gudmund is prepared to surrender, but finds that the king has recognized his error and restored all of Gudmund’s property and standing 
Margit wishes Gudmund and Signe well and goes off to St  Sunniva's cloister
