\"Palapala<\/p>\n

The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Press<\/a> now publishes the new, open-access resource for Hawaiian scholars, Palapala: a journal for Hawaiian language and literature<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The entirety of Palapala<\/em> volume 1, issue 1, which includes contemporary research in both Hawaiian and English, is freely available at the UH<\/abbr> Press website<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“We are honored to offer, through a collaboration with the UH<\/abbr> library<\/a> and the support of the university, an online journal of such scholarly importance to Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>,” said Joel Cosseboom<\/strong>, UH<\/abbr> Press interim director.<\/p>\n

Palapala<\/em> joins UH<\/abbr> Press’s extensive list of Hawaiian studies titles, including The Hawaiian Journal of History<\/em>, Kanaka ʻŌiwi Methodologies<\/em> and the Hawaiian Dictionary<\/em>. It is the first peer-reviewed Hawaiian language journal to be published exclusively online.<\/p>\n

“In spite of a vast and complex body of literature written in Hawaiian and a growing number of speakers, there has not been, until now, an academic journal dedicated to either the study of the language or the literature produced in it,” said Palapala<\/em> editor Jeffrey “Kapali” Lyon<\/strong> of the UH<\/abbr> Mānoa Department of Religion.<\/p>\n

“Palapala<\/em> is intended to fill that gap as a peer-reviewed journal that allows scholars of Hawaiian from around the globe to present the results of their research through a centralized, scholarly archive dedicated to cherishing, preserving and advancing our knowledge of the native language of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> nei,” Lyon said.<\/p>\n

The inaugural issue also features reprints from the Hawaiian alphabet, first published in 1822, and an anonymous 1857 account about translating the Bible into Hawaiian.<\/p>\n

“We are excited to publish the first issue of Palapala<\/em>,” said Pamela Wilson<\/strong>, UH<\/abbr> Press journals manager. “This journal truly aligns with our mission to be a Native Hawaiian place of learning and an indigenous-serving institution.”<\/p>\n

The journal’s editorial board includes UH<\/abbr> faculty members Joseph “Keola” Donaghy<\/strong>, kuʻualoha hoʻomanawanui<\/strong> and Hiapokeikikāne K. Perreira<\/strong>, as well as ʻŌiwi Parker Jones of the University of Oxford.
