| "Shaping Feminist Internationalism in the Pacific examines the dissemination, transformation, and hybridization of Western-origin women's movements from the U.S. Northeast to the socio-historical contexts of the multiracializing Hawaiian Kingdom in the nineteenth century. It considers the forging of U.S. semi-colonial rule of the islands at the turn-of-the-century and the rise of Hawai'i centered internationalist aspirations during the interwar years, from local, regional, and global perspectives. The study centers on Honolulu, the crossroads of the Pacific, but also branches out to other missionary outposts-namely Chicago, Kobe, Tokyo, Shanghai-that were modern commercial and industrial centers and the homelands for the majority of Hawaii's nineteenth and early twentieth-century immigrants. By borrowing a historical framework that illuminates multiple phases and dimensions of globalization, this study bridges nineteenth-century Protestant churchwomen's evangelism with twentieth-century feminist internationalism. It depicts how women's pursuit of civilizing mission cultivated transracial and transnational women's networks and paved the way for collective the post-WWI attempts to protect and empower women and children worldwide. This monograph details the over-a-century history of a small but diverse group of Anglo-Saxon, Native Hawaiian, and Asian/Asian-American (Japanese, Chinese, and Korean) women who adopted, hybridized, and transformed women's civilizing mission, and how their Pan-Pacific feminist camaraderie responded to and influenced Atlantic-based feminist organizations and institutions during the interwar years"-- | |
