The papers in this collection represent a wide range of interests drawn from the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, politics and literary studies. What they have in common is an attempt to better understand contemporary Philippine reality. This reality is a consequence of both internal and external conversations and power structures. All of them demonstrate how adept Filipinos are in re-interpreting often externally imposed institutions or understanding for their own internal needs. They likewise show that culture is an ever-changing flux of interpretations and practices, contestations and agreements built around disputable central or core values and norms. The essays provide interesting material to help us determine whether there is any meaning in speaking of a Malay world.

Cultures and Texts: Representations of Philippine Society

Peertierra, Raul

Anthropology

In analyzing the process by which the United States granted independence to the Philippines, rather than simply observing the effects of that process and then speculating backwards, Carlson attempted to provide new insights into the nature of the Filipino-American colonial relationship. A critical review of recently declassified American documents and the private papers of the key American officials involved in the decolonization process illustrates the inadequacies of past historical interpretations of the Filipino-American relationship. What emerges from these previously untapped sources is a fascinating tale of interdepartmental rivalries, competing private corporate and national interests, cross-cultural confusion, and personality conflicts.

"Great Philippine Jungle Energy Cafe" is tavantgarde experimental work and will stump you if you insist on narrative as dished out by the komiks or the native cinema. But if you dont read it for narration but instead read it as poem, then you will move from line to line with the increasing awareness that you are enjoying each line as a seperate experience.

This book is designed to fill the need for an introductory text on the sociology of the family as applied to the Philippine setting. Books on the sociology of the family which are available locally are foreign-based and therefore the concerns are not within the Filipino experience. The very few books on the Filipino family are good as references but inadequate as sociology textbooks.
