Abstract
The term Hapa is Hawaiian in origin and roughly means ‘half’. Recently, many mixedrace Asian/Pacific Islanders on the mainland began identifying with and using the term Hapa to create organizations specific to their needs. Largely recognized as a “California phenomenon,” the number of Asian-descent multiracials identifying as Hapa is ever increasing. Here I investigate the use of the term Hapa historically, as well as its current use in California. I then discuss the potential political implications of Mixedrace Asian/Pacific Islanders coalescing under the term.
