Videos of Oahu
Welcome to our collection of videos of Oahu, Hawai’i’s interface with the outside world and its wars and madding crowds. Oahu’s pace is frenetic even as it tries to preserve some semblance of the languor of the past. But Pearl Harbor was a rude awakening, and the island never recovered from the postwar inundation of new arrivals of men who experienced it during the war and returned to live here. The war upended the old white Republican sugar oligarchy and replaced it with a grass-roots revolution that swept the Democrats, the party of the local folk, into power. Plantation workers moved into the city and pooled their money to buy land and build, and development became the island’s salient characteristic. Urban Hawai’i was born.
