MIXING THE RACES IN HAWAII

By Sidney L. Gulick '83. The Hawaiian Board Book Rooms, Honolulu, Hawaii, 1957. P. 220. $2.50.

Hawaii has been variously termed "an ethnological museum, a sociological laboratory, a storehouse of racial dynamite, an international tinderbox, and the meeting point of warring races." There are certain elements in its social and racial situation which partially justify each of these descriptions. The author of this interesting study is interested in all of these implications of the Hawaiian scene. But he is interested in something more, namely, in the process going on in the Islands whereby a new race is undergoing creation. This new human type he calls the Neo-Hawaiian- American Race. His book is an able attempt to point out the various economic, political, religious, educational, and ethnic factors which are combining to create this new type out of the heterogeneous elements of the Pacific Islands.

The new race will have approximately the following physiological composition— "ten per cent Hawaiian, twenty per cent Caucasian, forty per cent Japanese, ten per cent Chinese, fifteen per cent Filipino, and two per cent Puerto Rican"—a truly polyracial combination. Inextricably interrelated with this cosmopolitan racial heritage, however, will be a cultural heritage that is predominantly American. Psychologically, politically, economically, and ethically, the boys and girls of this new race are Americans, speaking English and firmly believing in the democratic form of government. As this process of acculturation continues under the impact of American educational methods, this cultural similarity will be increasingly apparent. Under their light brown skins and behind their dark brown eyes, these children of the Pacific will be as truly American as the children who play about the shady streets of Middletown.
