Abstract
At the turn of the twentieth century, tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Japanese migrants left Japan and landed in Hawai‘i only to depart for North America either immediately or after varying periods of time. Many chose to move on in search of higher wages and better working conditions. The extent of their transmigration depleted the labour supply in Hawai‘i’s sugar cane fields and alarmed plantation owners, diplomats, immigration authorities and policymakers, whether Japanese, Canadian or American. This chapter examines the role of previously underexamined parties of migration, such as Japanese immigrant hotel owners and boardinghouse keepers along with their partners in business, Japanese translators and their white American associates. Situated between migrants and state regulators – the two more familiar parties of migration – these brokers of migration, I suggest, facilitated, regulated and profited from Japanese workers’ mobility in an increasingly racialized and exclusionary Pacific world.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
