  • Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance In
    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Skyler Allyn Korgel ANS 678H Departmental Honors in Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Department of Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Dr. Patricia Maclachlan Department of Government Second Reader Abstract “Ho’omalimali” and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Author: Skyler Korgel Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Second Reader: Dr. Patricia Maclachlan This thesis seeks to discover the underlying causes and factors for the unique political situation in Hawai'i where a minority demographic has been historically dominant. In researching historical and political contexts, as well as institutional and electoral factors, analysis of all these findings has shown a constructed “succession model” behind the dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) through the Democratic Party. The thesis also examines the implications of the disrupted and further divisive political climate of the Hawai'i Democratic Party since the death of universally respected and revered Senator Daniel Inouye (1924-2012). Senator Inouye’s death brought to an end a political career that spanned nearly six decades, and commenced a new era for Hawai'i political leadership. Quite possibly, this new era has also fractured the succession model. In a 75% minority state, throughout the past 65 years, Americans of Japanese ancestry have managed to gain a stranglehold over the Hawai'i Democratic Party, and therefore the Hawai’i state government itself.

  • ETHNICITY, LABOR and POLITICS the Filipino Experience in Hawaii
    ETHNICITY, LABOR AND POLITICS The Filipino Experience in Hawaii Belinda A. Aquino, Ph.D. Center for Philippine Studies University of Hawaii at Manoa Keynote Presentation for the Symposium on Political Leadership Among Filipino-Americans: Theories and Practice, October 3, 2008, California State University East Bay First of all, I would like to thank the Center for Filipino Studies and the Pilipino Students Association of the CSU-EB for inviting me to participate in today’s symposium on political leadership in the Filipino-American community. I’m especially grateful to Prof. Rica Llorente, symposium chair, for giving me a sense of how this presentation can tie in with the goals of the symposium, which include building bridges between academics and the community, between theory and practice, between generation and among cultures. This is a lot of territory to cover in 20 minutes but a great beginning in setting the tone for discussing political leadership in the community especially at this time. As we all know, an exciting political season has been upon us for the past 18 months, and in just four weeks, whoever and whichever political party wins, we will see some profound changes in the political landscape of this country. It is in this dynamic context that we must frame our future role as Filipino-Americans because as one of the fastest growing minorities in America, we cannot afford to be left behind in the critical events that will follow the November elections. We should see ourselves as major stakeholders in the future of American politics itself and this means getting together like this to think seriously about enhancing that possibility.
