Manoa Turns 20, Debuts in JSTOR
The March 2009 issue of the University of Hawai‘i magazine Mālamalama contains a profile of the history of Mānoa: A Pacific Journal of International Writing. It also offers two web extras: a slideshow of some of its cover designs and an audio interview with Mānoa editor Frank Stewart.
Mānoa passed two milestones in 2008: completing its 20th year of publishing and making its debut in the JSTOR online archive.
Visit Mānoa’s 20th Anniversary blog for a another brief history of its founding and a few highlights of its literary achievements over the years.
Every published volume of Mānoa is now available online. Since 2000, current issues have been appearing in Project MUSE (subscription required). In 2008, all prior volumes made their digital debut in JSTOR (subscription required). The JSTOR moving wall is 3 years. In other words, newer volumes will be added to the JSTOR archive 3 years after they first appear in print.
Archives of Asian Art Goes Digital
The Asia Society‘s venerable Archives of Asian Art, which spent its youth and teenage years as the Archives of the Chinese Art Society of America, goes digital this year. Volumes 1 (1945/46) though 55 (2005) have just made their online debut in the Arts & Sciences V Collection at JSTOR, where a new back volume will be added each year.
Those who cannot wait to see current volumes appear online will be pleased to know that volumes 57 (2007) through 59 (2009) are scheduled to debut in Project MUSE‘s Premium Collection by year-end. In 2010, when JSTOR mounts volume 56 (2006) online, the whole run of the Archives of Asian Art will finally be available in electronic as well as print editions.

Korean Minorities in the Age of Globalization
Between Defector and Migrant: Identities and Strategies of North Koreans in South Korea
Byung-Ho Chung, 1
This article examines the structural conditions and the individual strategies of North Koreans in South Korea. It provides a historical account on the changing social definitions of and policies toward North Korean border-crossers and how the changing conditions have affected their identities and lives. It also gives an ethnographic account of the difficulties and risks of individuals whose identities are caught between ‘‘defector’’ and ‘‘migrant.’’ The problems they face in capitalist South Korea are examined in the major areas of social transition—arrival, orientation, residence, consumption, work, education, and ideology—focusing on individual strategies that negotiate cultural differences between the two Koreas.
