In order to incorporate both cultural and environmental resources into an integrated plan, that also accounts for community input, I combine a cultural landscape approach with geographic information systems (GIS) to produce a Heritage Landscape Resource Inventory Model.

  • 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.

  • Randolph Crossley and His Half-Century in Hawai'i
    T. MICHAEL HOLMES Randolph Crossley and His Half-Century in Hawai'i ANYONE FAMILIAR with the politics of Hawai'i in the last half of the 20th century has run across the name of Randolph Crossley. In my two books about this period, there are several references to this sig- nificant member of the Republican Party of Hawai'i. In The Specter of Communism in Hawaiil there are three index references to Crossley, all having to do with the year 1950 and the simultaneous convening of the Constitutional Convention for the proposed State of Hawai'i and the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings in Hono- lulu. In John A. Burns, The Man and His Times2 Crossley gets four index references, guiding the reader to a brief summary of his political career from 1943—1953 and his unexpectedly strong run for the gov- ernor's chair against John A. Burns in 1966. Other than this, until two years ago, I knew very little about this man who lived and worked in Hawai'i for nearly half a century. Shortly after the rollout of the Burns biography in April 2000,1 had an opportunity to meet Randolph Crossley where he now lives in Mon- terey, California. I wasn't sure where such a meeting might lead, but having nothing to lose I said that I would be happy to meet with him. When I arrived at the Park Lane, an assisted-living residence managed by Hyatt, I encountered a 96-year old man with a remarkably nimble T. Michael Holmes received a Ph.D.
