초록

20세기 초반 하와이와 호놀룰루의 민족집단 관계는 백인이 수적으로 소수집단을 구성하는 예외적인 상황이기에 인종차별주의 관념에 별로 영향을 받지 않았었다는 것이 일반적인 견해이다. 하지만 실제로 과거는 물론이고 현재에 이르기까지 민족집단 관계에 인종, 민족 이슈들이 큰 영향을 미쳤음은 분명하다. 이 연구는 20세기 초반 호놀룰루 유색 이민집단들의 이주와 정착 과정 내내 백인지상주의 관념이 미국 본토에서와 마찬가지로 큰 영향을 미쳤음을 밝히고 있다. 직업의 차별화와 계층화, 그리고 거주지의 공간적 분화가 미국 본토의 도시에서와 같이 호놀룰루에서도 인종, 민족집단 간에 분명하게 이루어졌었다. 유색인종집단의 직업에 따른 사회적 분리 현상과 거주의 공간적 집중화 현상은 비백인집단의 "로우컬"과 백인집단의 "하올리"라고 하는 이원화된 대립적 정체성을 만들어가는 계기가 되었다. 그러한 변형된 정체성은 비백인들로 구성된 다민족적 근린지구 내에 착근된 민족집단들의 상호 협상과정이 지속적으로 진행되면서 자연스럽게 창출된 결과물인 것이다.

It has been widely believed that the ethnic relations in Honolulu and Hawai'i in the early twentieth century were little associated with racist ideology because the white race was minority in terms of the racial composition. In reality, however, the racial and ethnic issues have played a major role in forming the past and present relations among ethnic groups. This study shows that the white-supremacy ideology exerted a strong influence on minority groups in Honolulu throughout the immigration and settling-down process, as much as in the mainland U.S. Clear occupational stratification and residential segregation among the ethnic groups in Honolulu represented almost the same situation as in mainland cities. The social segregation and spatial propinquity of their residential neighborhoods facilitated the construction of dichotomized identity: "Local" versus "Haole". Such transformed identities were a product of on-going inter-ethnic negotiation process embedded in the non-white multi-ethnic neighborhoods.
