Zusammenfassung: | This is the first book in more than thirty years to discuss critically both the historical and contemporary experiences of Hawaii’s Japanese Americans. Given that race was the foremost organizing principle of social relations in Hawai‘i and was followed by ethnicity beginning in the 1970s, the book interprets these experiences from racial and ethnic perspectives. The transition from race to ethnicity is cogently demonstrated in the transformation of Japanese Americans from a highly racialized minority of immigrant laborers to one of the most politically and socioeconomically powerful ethnic groups in the islands. To illuminate this process, the author has produced a racial history of Japanese Americans from their early struggles against oppressive working and living conditions on the sugar plantations to labor organizing and the rise to power of the Democratic Party following World War II. He goes on to analyze how Japanese Americans have maintained their political power into the twenty-first century and discusses the recent advocacy and activism of individual yonsei (fourth-generation Japanese Americans) working on behalf of ethnic communities other than their own.From Race to Ethnicity resonates with scholars currently debating the relative analytical significance of race and ethnicity. Its novel analysis convincingly elucidates the differential functioning of race and ethnicity over time insofar as race worked against Japanese Americans and other non-Haoles (Whites) by restricting them from full and equal participation in society, but by the 1970s ethnicity would work fully in their favor as they gained greater political and economic power. The author reminds readers, however, that ethnicity has continued to work against Native Hawaiians, Filipino Americans, and other minorities—although not to the same extent as race previously—and thus is responsible for maintaining ethnic inequality in Hawai‘i |

spelling | Okamura, Jonathan Y. aut From Race to Ethnicity Interpreting Japanese American Experiences in Hawaii Jonathan Y. Okamura; Paul Spickard Honolulu University of Hawaii Press [2014] © 2014 1 online resource txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 21. Nov 2017) This is the first book in more than thirty years to discuss critically both the historical and contemporary experiences of Hawaii’s Japanese Americans. Given that race was the foremost organizing principle of social relations in Hawai‘i and was followed by ethnicity beginning in the 1970s, the book interprets these experiences from racial and ethnic perspectives. The transition from race to ethnicity is cogently demonstrated in the transformation of Japanese Americans from a highly racialized minority of immigrant laborers to one of the most politically and socioeconomically powerful ethnic groups in the islands. To illuminate this process, the author has produced a racial history of Japanese Americans from their early struggles against oppressive working and living conditions on the sugar plantations to labor organizing and the rise to power of the Democratic Party following World War II. He goes on to analyze how Japanese Americans have maintained their political power into the twenty-first century and discusses the recent advocacy and activism of individual yonsei (fourth-generation Japanese Americans) working on behalf of ethnic communities other than their own.From Race to Ethnicity resonates with scholars currently debating the relative analytical significance of race and ethnicity. Its novel analysis convincingly elucidates the differential functioning of race and ethnicity over time insofar as race worked against Japanese Americans and other non-Haoles (Whites) by restricting them from full and equal participation in society, but by the 1970s ethnicity would work fully in their favor as they gained greater political and economic power. The author reminds readers, however, that ethnicity has continued to work against Native Hawaiians, Filipino Americans, and other minorities—although not to the same extent as race previously—and thus is responsible for maintaining ethnic inequality in Hawai‘i In English Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Japanese Americans Hawaii Sansei (DE-588)4495661-7 gnd rswk-swf Japaner (DE-588)4096462-0 gnd rswk-swf Integration (DE-588)4027238-2 gnd rswk-swf Nisei (DE-588)4357605-9 gnd rswk-swf Soziale Stellung (DE-588)4181935-4 gnd rswk-swf Issei (DE-588)4304965-5 gnd rswk-swf Ethnische Beziehungen (DE-588)4176973-9 gnd rswk-swf Hawaii (DE-588)4023877-5 gnd rswk-swf Hawaii (DE-588)4023877-5 g Japaner (DE-588)4096462-0 s Issei (DE-588)4304965-5 s Nisei (DE-588)4357605-9 s Sansei (DE-588)4495661-7 s Soziale Stellung (DE-588)4181935-4 s Ethnische Beziehungen (DE-588)4176973-9 s Integration (DE-588)4027238-2 s Geschichte z 1\p DE-604 Spickard, Paul edt https://www.degruyter.com/doi/book/10.21313/9780824840181 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
