Description
"THIS BOOK SHOULD BE REQUIRED READING FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE LAYERED COMPLEXITY OF A COUNTRY WHOSE HISTORY HAS OFTEN BEEN REDUCED TO CLICHES LIKE "THREE HUNDRED YEARS IN A CONVENT AND FIFTY YEARS IN HOLLYWOOD. ABINALES AND AMOROSO HAVE WRITTEN A PHILIPPINE HISTORY FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY-- ONE THAT SITUATES THE COUNTRY IN SOUTHEAST EASIA AND THE GLOBE AND PROVIDES A RICH PERSPECTIVE THAT MOVES FAR BEYOND THE ONE-DIMENTIONAL VIEWS THAT HAD LONG BEEN OFFERED BY NATIONALIST HISTORIANS AND ORIENTALIST COMMENTATORS." -- SHEILS S. CORONEL, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - from Amzon
