Pacific Asia Inquiry vol. 3 released
***********************************
From: James D. Sellmann, Dean, <jsellman@uguam.uog.edu>

The University of Guam College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences is
proud to announce the release of Pacific Asia Inquiry, Volume 3, Number 1,
Fall 2012. The on-line journal, featuring research on a wide range of
historical and contemporary topics relevant to the Pacific Asian region
features 8 articles and 2 book reviews by such renowned Pacific Asia
authors as Mary Spencer, Ying-Chun Liu, Dennis Erasga, Lan-Hung Nora
Chiang, Hao-Li Lin, Michael Bevacqua, Chen Yuping and Unaisi Nabobo-Baba,
to name a few.

Edited by faculty members at the University of Guam, Volume 3 of Pacific
Asia Inquiry was launched in December 2012. The online journal is the
first of its kind for the University of Guam, contributing to the
development of UOG's reach which goes far beyond the Micronesian
region. The electronic publication of historical and contemporary articles
is a new and exciting venture for UOG, and makes available to large
audiences much needed scholarship on the Pacific Asia region. PAI's Volume
3 e-publication focuses on migration issues, child development, cultural
ways of learning, spatial relations, uneven development, the political
realities of sovereignty, community development, local entrepreneurship,
micro-finance and epistemological underpinnings of qualitative research.
The authors' works are based on first-hand research, observations and
secondary analysis conducted in Taiwan, Fiji, the Philippines, Guam, Chuuk
Lagoon,Yap State, and Palau. All articles in Volume 3 represent the much
needed scholarship on the Pacific Asia region that this on-line journal
has come to represent.

Literary critiques continue in an impressive book review section. Two
contemporary books - one focusing on Japan, the other on the Marshall
Islands - are analyzed based on content and contribution to specific topic
areas. The section starts with a compelling and insightful review
of Japanese studies, German intellectual models and hermeneutic
scholarship. The second review is an intriguing interpretation of the
author's poems which expressively illustrate life in the Marshall Islands
by focusing on the environment, ethnicity, cultural survival and political
dependence. Both book reviews are versed analyses of literary and
artistic works.

Electronic publication is bringing this impressive journal out into the
public in an unprecedented way and advancing, on a global level,
knowledge and understanding of the Pacific Asia region. For a free full
