Vicente L Rafael

White Love and Other Events in Filipino History

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"An extremely rich, original, and insightful work. Famously gifted in style and nuance, Rafael ranks among the few contemporary scholars in Asian studies whose writings merit--and reward--careful rereading. This book not only illuminates twentieth-century Philippine history with great sophistication and subtlety but also treats colonialism, nationalism, and constructions of gender and race in ways that many non-Philippine specialists are certain to find interesting and fruitful."--John T. Sidel, author of "Capital, Coercion, and Crime: Bossism in the Philippines"
