The Contemporary Pacific (TCP)

The Contemporary Pacific: An Interdisciplinary Journal is a publication venue for interdisciplinary work in Pacific studies with the aim of providing informed discussion of contemporary issues in the Pacific Islands region. It features refereed articles that examine social, economic, political, ecological, cultural, and literary topics. This award-winning journal also includes political reviews, book and media reviews, resource reviews, and a dialogue section that allows flexible publication of diverse genres of writing, including interviews and short essays. Issues also highlight the work of Pacific Islander artists. The Contemporary Pacific has its own editorial board as well as an international board of correspondents who advise on editorial matters and generally further the aims of the journal. Copublished by the Center for Pacific Islands Studies of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa and the University of Hawai‘i Press (UHP), the journal follows the UHP Journals Department ethical guidelines.
