From Moral Community To Moral Communities: The Foundations Of Migrant Social Solidarity Among Samoans In Urban Aotearoa/New Zealand, Cluny Macpherson Mar 2002

From Moral Community To Moral Communities: The Foundations Of Migrant Social Solidarity Among Samoans In Urban Aotearoa/New Zealand, Cluny Macpherson

Pacific Studies

There is clear evidence of moral community within early expatriate migrant Samoan communities in New Zealand. This moral community was partly the consequence of many migrants’ common life experiences and their resultant commitment to, and belief in, the integrity of their worldview and lifestyle. While commitment was a necessary condition, it was not a sufficient condition for moral community. This article argues that critical to the emergence of moral community were demographic, political, and economic factors—often underrated in anthropological explanations—that influenced the choice of migrants by their families, the processes of migration, and the concentration of migrants in residential and …


Maintaining Marshallese Fundamentals With Christian Fundamentalism, Linda Allen Mar 2002

Maintaining Marshallese Fundamentals With Christian Fundamentalism, Linda Allen

Pacific Studies

From 1902–1903 Emile Durkheim offered a series of lectures at the Sorbonne in which he suggested that participation in a “moral community” compels us to recognize ourselves in the collectivity and to commit ourselves to moral goals of the group. This essay discusses the formation of a Durkheimian community by migrants from the Republic of the Marshall Islands to the midwestern city of Enid, Oklahoma, and attempts to identify the political and economic factors that made the community’s formation possible. More important, however, this essay explains why this particular moral community became essential for the social and psychological survival of …


Marae And Tribal Identity In Urban Aotearoa/New Zealand, Paul Tapsell Mar 2002

Marae And Tribal Identity In Urban Aotearoa/New Zealand, Paul Tapsell

Pacific Studies

This article examines the ceremonial courtyard called a marae, the quintessential focus of tribal Maori society, which not only represents customary authority over surrounding land but also provides the forum on which taonga (ancestral treasures) are ritually performed. Historically rooted in the Pacific, the tribal marae has stayed intact for countless generations serving generations of kin communities in their ever-changing social, political, and economic contexts. After World War II the marae underwent new transformations as descendants began migrating in their thousands from relative rural isolation to newly developing metropolitan areas. Competition and accessing new opportunities based upon ethnicity gave rise …


Abuse And Discipline: The Creation Of Moral Community In Domestic Violence Groups On The Wai‘Anae Coast (Hawai‘I), Judith S. Modell Mar 2002

Abuse And Discipline: The Creation Of Moral Community In Domestic Violence Groups On The Wai‘Anae Coast (Hawai‘I), Judith S. Modell

Pacific Studies

This article discusses the creation of moral community in two self-help groups on the Wai‘anae Coast of O‘ahu in the state of Hawai‘i. One is a women’s domestic violence group and the other a men’s anger management group. Both groups use freely constructed narratives from the participants as the foundation for establishing rules of conduct and standards of the “good person.” In each case, facilitators bring the lessons and the doctrine of a state agency to informal proceedings. The article argues that out of the intersection of participant interpretations of experiences and state-sanctioned forms of discipline come the lineaments of …


Comparative Criminalization: Cultural Meanings Of Adultery And Gender Violence In Hawai‘I In 1850 And 1990, Sally Engle Merry Mar 2002

Comparative Criminalization: Cultural Meanings Of Adultery And Gender Violence In Hawai‘I In 1850 And 1990, Sally Engle Merry

Pacific Studies

This essay analyzes the impact of court cases concerning sexuality and adultery on customary understandings of kinship and gender in Hilo, Hawai‘i. During the periods covered the nature of the cases, the content of the law, and the implementation of punishment changed radically. Nevertheless, there are similarities in modes of criminalization during the 1840s and 1850s, on the one hand, and during the 1990s, on the other. Both used the authority and sanctioning power of the law to redefine marriage and gender relations. Both were implemented through local practices of police, courts, and corrections/treatment officials, which provided incentives for compliance …
