Abstract

This paper examines the 1980s vitalization movement among the Okinawan community in Hawaii. Through long-term participant observation, I have found some young third generation people of Okinawan ancestry who established the Okinawan Festival and the Hawaii Okinawa Center. I refer to them as ethnic agents, a certain type of transformative agent. They have diffused a new idea of Uchina-culturalism among the Okinawan community of Hawaii.
