BIBLIOGRAPHY Research Bibliography of Alcohol and Kava Studies in Oceania: Update and Additional Items PAUL FREUND an d MAC MARSHALL Deparlme11/ of A111hropo/ogy, U11ii>ersilyof Iowa, Iowa Cily, Iowa 52242 Marshall (1974) recently compiled a bibliography of research dealing with alcohol and kava use in the Pacific Islands consisting of 70 separate items divided more or less equally between alcohol and kava studies . Scholars familiar with the Pacific know that the preparation and consumption of kava by Pac ific Islanders ha s caught the attention of outsiders for a long time and this fact is made apparent by the additional bibliography on alcohol and kava in Oceania provided below . Fully 63 of the 84 new items concern kava and a substantial number of these date from the nineteenth century . Six of the items listed below are updates of work mentioned in the l 974 compilation (e.g., papers read at professional meetings that st1bsequently have been published) . Since much of the kava literature appears in languages other than English , we have provided translations of titles not readily comprehensible to persons unfamiliar with the language in question.
