This special issue on the Filipino experience in Hawai'i represents joint
efforts involving students, staff, faculty, and allied parties in the larger community to provide descriptions and interpretations of the past, present, and future of
this major community in this setting. To grasp more fully the significance of this
experience, both persons who have grown up "inside" of the population and
those who work from "outside" of that community are represented in these
papers. This is in the best sense of the work supported by Social Process in
Hawaii. This journal emerged as an occasional paper series which engaged
students as editors working closely with faculty to encourage the development
of research and scholarship on the diverse peoples who have migrated to Ilawai'i
and how and why they have come to terms with the challenges of living in the
Hawaiian setting.

We have not been able earlier to devote a whole issue to the Filipino
experience in Hawai'i. This gathering of works by students, faculty, and
community persons on the process, parties, and outcomes of individual, family,
and community developments and movements involving Filipinos in and around
Hawai'i can only encourage further understanding and works on a people who
have and will continue to contribute much to grounded understanding of
individual and group relations under diverse conditions. These papers document
a range and some forms of effective participation in the polity, the educational
setting, the economy, and in family and community life in I-Iawai'i under
extremely restrictive and difficult conditions which have conditioned the life of
Filipinos and their descendants in Hawai'i.
