Abstract:
|
Many of the major social movements of the19th and 20th centuries were characterized by factionalism (or intramovement conflict). Far from the exception, factionalism is a fact of life for social movements yet it remains an underexplored subject in the social movement literature. Intramovement conflict occurs at two primary levels: conflict within a social movement organization (SMO) or conflict between competing SMOs within a movement. Social movements can experience dissention along a number of lines including membership, leadership, and ideology. The Hawaiian sovereignty movement is divided into two prominent factions: one branch of the movement favors a nation-within-a nation approach (the so-called "mainstream" branch) while another pursues independence from the U.S. (the purported "radical" branch). Critics have long charged that the divisions within the sovereignty movement prevent Hawaiians from attaining even moderate goals. My paper begins with a review of the relevant social movement literature on factionalism covering the last five decades and summarizes the arguments made concerning the effects of intramovement conflict on the success of social movements. Then, drawing on interviews with activists and leaders in the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, I explore what effects Hawaiians believe factionalism has had on the success of their movement. I find, based on the materials from these interviews, that Hawaiians largely view the divisions within their community as an asset rather than a liability for the sovereignty movement. |
