Abstract
This study of relationship between private rental housing market and tenantethnicity preferences of landlords in Honolulu in 1952 views latter as products of interplay between cultural and social structure. The cultural structure is presented in terms of two conflicting ideologies: assimilationism and separatism. The most relevant aspect of social structure is rental housing market with respect to tenant and landlord ethnicities. Seven hypotheses are developed; each is tested against data collected from landlords and tenants of a sample of rental housing. Landlord preferences fluctuate as action implications of each ideology are facilitated or inhibited by conditions of supply and demand. In spite of frequent discrimination by individual landlords, however, the market, as a system, tends toward non-discrimination.
