Book Description
This issue of Social Process in Hawai celebrates the 100th Anniversary of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Department of Sociology, now part of the College of Social Sciences, which was founded by Romanzo Adams in 1920. Entitled Celebrating 100 Years of Local Studies, the issue is guest-edited by Lori Pierce of DePaul University and John P. Rosa of the University of Hawai'i. Its sixteen articles are presented in two sections--Part I: Rethinking Hawaiʻi's Past and Part II: New Directions in Contemporary Hawaiʻi. A preface by Patricia Steinhoff provides a brief overview of the department's history and its long-standing commitment to engaging both students and faculty in research on local communities in Hawaiʻi. Pierce's introduction to the volume traces how founder Romanzo Adams built up the department by obtaining a ten-year grant from the Rockefeller Foundation that supported faculty, graduate students, and the development of a social research laboratory. Undergraduate students learned research methods while conducting studies in local communities throughout Hawaiʻi, and their research papers have been preserved in the Romanzo Adams Social Research Laboratory (RASRL) in the University of Hawaiʻi archives at Hamilton Library. In the mid-1930s the department's student Sociology Club began publishing research by both faculty and students in the department's journal, Social Process in Hawai Prominent sociologists have come to Hawaiʻi as visitors since the 1920s and 1930s to study the unique ethnic diversity in the islands and they, too, have contributed to the journal. After a hiatus of a decade in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Social Process in Hawai was revived by Kiyoshi Ikeda, who had been a student editor of the journal in the early 1950s and later returned as a senior faculty member. Since then it has been published with guest editors from the sociology department and other social science departments at the university. This anniversary issue includes a cumulative index of all forty-six issues of the journal, plus a cumulative index of all of the authors, editors, and other participants who have made Social Process in Hawaipossible.

Book Description
This collection reminds us of the pattern in US history slighted by standard narratives of nation. Those histories, these essays reveal, are powerful creations in the constitution of a nation and people, and they uncover how exclusions can operate to install hierarchies of power.

Book Description
This is a significant update to the highly influential text People and Cultures of Hawaii: A Psychocultural Profile. Since its publication in 1980, the immigrant groups it discusses in depth have matured and new ones have been added to the mix. The present work tracks the course of these changes over the past twenty years, constructing a historical understanding of each group as it evolved from race to ethnicity to culture. Individual chapters begin with an overview of one of fifteen groups. Following the development of its unique ethnocultural identity, distinctive character traits such as temperament and emotional expression are explored—as well as ethnic stereotypes. Also discussed are modifications to the group’s ethnocultural identity over time and generational change—which traits may have changed over generations and which are more hardwired or enduring. An important feature of each chapter is the focus on the group’s family social structure, generational and gender roles, power distribution, and central values and life goals. Readers will also find a description of the group’s own internal social class structure, social and political strategies, and occupational and educational patterns. Finally, contributors consider how a particular ethnic group has blended into Hawai‘i’s culturally sensitive society. People and Cultures of Hawai‘i: The Evolution of Culture and Ethnicity will, like its predecessor, fill an important niche in understanding the history of different ethnic groups in Hawai‘i.
Multiculturalism in the United States

Pages : 456
Book Description
Interest in ethnic studies and multiculturalism has grown considerably in the years since the 1992 publication of the first edition of this work. Co-editors Ratner and Buenker have revised and updated the first edition of Multiculturalism in the United States to reflect the changes, patterns, and shifts in immigration showing how American culture affects immigrants and is affected by them. Common topics that helped determine the degree and pace of acculturation for each ethnic group are addressed in each of the 17 essays, providing the reader with a comparative reference tool. Seven new ethnic groups are included: Arabs, Haitians, Vietnamese, Koreans, Filipinos, Asian Indians, and Dominicans. New essays on the Irish, Chinese, and Mexicans are provided as are revised and updated essays on the remaining groups from the first edition. The contribution to American culture by people of these diverse origins reflects differences in class, occupation, and religion. The authors explain the tensions and conflicts between American culture and the traditions of newly arrived immigrants. Changes over time that both of the cultures brought to America and of the culture that received them is also discussed. Essays on representative ethnic groups include African-Americans, American Indians, Arabs, Asian Indians, Chinese, Dominicans, Filipinos, Germans, Haitians, Irish, Italians, Jews, Koreans, Mexicans, Poles, Scandinavians, and the Vietnamese.
