Open Access Anthropology

John Charlot is not exactly an anthropologist — he is a professor of religion at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. Throughout the course of his career he has published extensively on Hawai’ian history and religion, as well as other diverse topics such Samoan literature and Vietnamese religion.

Charlot has now provided a massive list of his writings that are available and open on his website. Many of his writings are published in journals and books that are hard to find, and many are relevant for anyone who wants to understand Hawai’ian culture — his dust up with Valerio Valeri (PDF) is worth reading if people wonder about the reception of Valeri’s work on Hawai’i in Hawai’i.

Charlot is a great example of a senior scholar who has made his work available and open for everyone.
