Crowning the Nice Girl

Gender, Ethnicity, and Culture in Hawai'i's Cherry Blossom Festival

Beschreibung

After World War II, Japanese Americans in Hawai'i sought to carve a positive niche of public citizenship in the community. In 1953 members of the Honolulu Japanese Junior Chamber of Commerce and their wives created a beauty contest, the Cherry Blossom Festival (CBF) Queen Pageant, which quickly became an annual spectacle for the growing urban population of Honolulu.
