I do confess I was a bit disturbed by the author's assertion that "It has been difficult for the Palauans to learn to make decisions for themselves" and that they would actually prefer to be governed, but I'm not sure whether he meant it condescendingly or whether he meant the Palauans as a people are very easy-going and like to leave well enough alone.
I wish I could find something about Palau in more recent years, to see how much the past half-century has changed the face of the island since Dr. Barnett wrote this.
