More about Mānoa
The journal’s mission has been to encourage awareness and appreciation of the literary arts, particularly writing related to Asia and the Pacific; to encourage tolerance and respect by helping to foster transnational communities and conversations; to encourage the translation of new works into English and to make Americans aware that their shared heritage includes significant contributions from peoples whose origins are in Asia or the Pacific.
The journal is available to web subscribers at more than 4,000 institutions and libraries worldwide who give free access to students, scholars and the public. Mānoa is also available in handsome printed volumes designed by Barbara Pope Book Design.
