Since its inception in 1928, the Pan-Pacific Women's Association
(PPWA) has witnessed and contributed to enormous changes in world
and Pacific history. Operating out of Honolulu, this women's
network established a series of conferences that promoted social
reform and an internationalist outlook through cultural exchange.
For the many women attracted to the project - from China, Japan,
the Pacific Islands, and the major settler colonies of the region -
the association's vision was enormously attractive, despite the
fact that as individuals and national representatives they remained
deeply divided by colonial histories. ""Glamour in the Pacific""
tells this multifaceted story by bringing together critical
scholarship from across a wide range of fields, including cultural
history, international relations and globalization, gender and
empire, postcolonial studies, population and world health studies,
world history, and transnational history. The internationalist
vision of the early twentieth century imagined a world in which
race and empire had been relegated to the past. Significant numbers
of women from around the Pacific brought this shared vision to the
lively, even glamorous, political experiment of the Pan-Pacific
Women's Association. Fiona Paisley relates the stories of this
extraordinary group of women and illuminates the challenges and
rewards of their politics of antiracism - one that still resonates
today.
