The University of Guam Press (UOG Press) publishes an array of academic and literary books and journals with a specific focus on the unique history, environment, peoples, cultures, and languages of the islands that make up the Western Pacific region. The University of Guam Press strives to increase the availability of ex-ceptional scholarly and literary texts that can be used as learning resources
about Guam and Micronesia for people and institutions in the region and throughout the world. UOG Press is an integral part of the Richard Flores Taitano Micronesian Area Re-search Center (MARC), which holds the most extensive repository of information about Guam and Micronesia. UOG Press extends the MARC’s mission of collect-ing, preserving, and providing access to reliable and accurate information about the peoples and cultures of the Western Pacific, thereby advancing scholarship and learning in and about the region. UOG Press has two major publishing components – MARC Publications and Taiguini Books. MARC Publications is dedicated to publishing research-based, evidence-driven academic texts pri-marily focused on historical and contemporary issues impacting the social, political, economic, and sustainable development of Western Pacific islands and communities. Taiguini Books publishes cultural and indigenous literature for adult and children, with the goal of capturing and preserving the eloquence and depth of the region’s dynamic storytelling tradition in written form.
