The “Micronesian Journal of History and Social Science”:http://marshall.csu.edu.au/MJHSS/ is a scholarly journal focusing on (you guessed it) Micronesia and social scientific approaches to it. It is entirely digital, and the full contents are downloadable off the net. So if you are looking for material on Micronesia (which can be difficult to find if you don’t live in Honolulu, the unofficial capital of Micronesia) then look no further. While I am not a Micronesianist, I do see a couple of names I recognize in the tables of contents, so I’d say this journal is worth a look. The “thrashing of Bravo For The Marshallese“:http://marshall.csu.edu.au/MJHSS/Issue2005/MJHSS2005_109.pdf is interesting, for instance, since I’ve heard very good things about this book from other sources.

Since I can never resist a good thrashing (egregious SM humor alert), I clicked on the link to that review — rarely have I read a more childishly ungenerous, self-aggrandizing piece of criticism. Knowing nothing about either the author or the reviewer, nor about the Marshall Islands, I haven’t got a dog in that fight — but I think the editors of the journal would have done well to have bowed to the reviewer’s avowed protestations and asked someone else to assess the book.
