The recent intensification of economic, cultural, and organizational activity across the Pacific has endowed the region with a new meaning. Flowing of people, capital, cultural production, and commodities have been accompanied by efforts to organize the Pacific politically and economically. Moving beyond single-country or area studies, this groundbreaking series is devoted to works that deal with the human activity and interactions that have contributed to the development of a coherent region. The series especially encourages studies that consider Asian Americans encompassing North and South America and the peoples of the Pacific.
