Palau

Indigenous Literatures from Micronesia
Edited by Evelyn Flores and Emelihter Kihleng

One of over sixty contributors to this collection of essays, poetry and prose, Isebong M. Asang describes the cultural clash of the traditional Palauan community and the island's American educational system. With academic ideas of success being dependent on fluency in English, Palau's official language, the essay asks how Palauans can hope to retain their identity in the face of their language and cultural values being threatened and diminished.
