  • 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.

  • Honolulu in 1847
    Honolulu in 1847 Richard A. Greer In the early morning of January 1, 1847, darkness gripped a slumbering Honolulu. Stormy trade winds hurled rain squalls down from the mountains and out to sea. Roofs trembled; the ocean foamed against the reef.1 New Year's Eve had been a big night: stores generally closed, parties swinging, and plenty of supervised activity for the youngsters in the decent hours. French Consul Jules Dudoit hosted a gathering of some 60 youths, including the young chiefs. And about 500 Hawaiian children from several Protestant schools assembled under temperance banners; led by the Rev. Armstrong, they marched through the streets, pausing before their friends' houses.2 A press reference to the "unusual spirit" of the Eve glossed over all other shenanigans, but it must be assumed that some were fated to awaken to penitential hangovers. So the villagers sprawled and snored, unaware that they were even then being analyzed and dissected in a most thorough way. Intellectual curiosity, or perhaps a need for editorial fodder, had driven the Polynesian to comb the town. And on January 9 Honolulu's reading public got the results: a minute description of their mid-Pacific habitat in all its parts: Total number of buildings 1.386 Residences 1,337 Grass 875 ($5 to $500) Adobe 345 ($100 to $3,000) Stone (coral) 49 ($1,000 Wood 49 to Stone or adobe below, wood above 29 $12,000) Stores and warehouses 40 Stone 15 ($1,000 Adobe 15 to Wood 10 $8,000) Retail 32 (generally Wholesale 15 combined) 59 Public buildings Churches 3 Protestant, 1 Roman Catholic (about $55,000) Palace, house of queen, etc.
