The annual conference of the Pacific Coast Branch of the American Historical Association (PCB-AHA) is being held from July 31-August 2, 2024, on the campus of the University of Hawaii at Mānoa. In light of the conference’s location, the editors of the PCB-AHA’s official journal, the Pacific Historical Review, have curated a list of recent articles from the journal focused on Hawaii. Themes of racial diversity and belonging form a common thread throughout the selections. Whether or not you are in Hawaii for the conference, we invite you to read these articles for free online for a limited time.
