PALAU/BELAU

Since the Federated States of Micronesia became independent, we have been using the new spellings Chuuk and Pohnpei. We understand, however, that the spelling Belau is intended for use only in the Palauan language; in English the spelling Palau should be retained.

ISLA AJ ournal of Micronesian Studies

- - -A journal for all who are interested in Micronesia, from prehistory to contemporary society and culture.

DR. ROBERT A. UNDERWOOD, EDITOR

T he University of Guam announces a new scholarly journal devoted exclusively to Micronesia. To be published semiannually beginning with the Rainy

Season 1991 issue, ISlA is a refereed publication and multidisciplinary in scope.

ISlA's purpose is to encourage scholarship in the region and to provide a forum for the several disciplines now engaged in Micronesian studies. ISlA also has a practical focus: In addition to original research articles and analytical essays, the journal includes policy analysis papers that encompass the diverse sectional policies that affect the interests of people who live and work in Micronesia.

The Board of Editors invites manuscripts that offer significant insights about the cultures, societies, histories, economies, and the political, educational , and health systems of this rapidly changing region of the Pacific.

Forthcoming issues will carry articles on Micronesian history, environment, contemporary society, economic development, and health.
