Reviews

"Goetzfridt and Peacock, two of the Pacific's premier bibliographers, have produced an eminently accessible, remarkably thorough, and impressively annotated guide to the written sources on Micronesia's past. There is no other bibliography quite like it. Anyone interested in Micronesian or Pacific histories will find this work wonderfully helpful."-David Hanlon Professor of History University of Hawai'i at Manoa

"Micronesian Histories establishes Goetzfridt and Peacock as the world's preeminent curators of Micronesian library collections. Their impressive, erudite volume will quickly become an indispensable research tool across the disciplines for persons studying the Federal States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau. Indeed, there exists no other bibliographic publication which so exhaustively unites the major writings by both indigenous and non-indigenous writers of Micronesia. Aside from the sheer exhaustiveness of this work, their scholarly annotations intelligently and faithfully synthesize each text's key themes, providing users with an invaluable resource."-Anne Perez Hattori Assistant Professor, Pacific History University of Guam

"Micronesian Histories is an essential reference work for researchers and students interested in the Caroline and Marshall Islands. A concise guide to the work of over 300 scholars, the volume is comprehensive, well written and well organized. The scholarship is impeccable, and the book is a significant contribution to Pacific Islands studies."-Robert C. Kiste Director Center for Pacific Island Studies University of Hawai'i
