| Research Abstract |
This research is to clarify how Japanese women living in Hawaii build the 'community space' through their networks in Honolulu. In Hawaii there are so many Japanese who moved to Hawaii after W.W.2. They are called Shin-Issei(the new first generation).
I focus on those social networks in Honolulu.Based on the results, the following characteristics are drawn. 1)They learn, find and recognize their own community space and try to diversify it according to their needs and the situations. 2)They are negatively affected by Japanese economic problems. 3)Those networks are the place for them to confirm their identity: whether they are a Japanese or an American, a wife or a worker in living in Hawaii. Sometimes they, conciously or unconciously, reproduce their identity as a conservative Japanese as they are expected to behave as a 'Japanese'. Though those social networks, they build their own community space while trying to assimilate in the Hawaiian society.
