Amy Blitz

Culture
and Customs of Philippines
by Paul A. Rodell
Book Description: Culture and Customs of the Philippines provides
the best general overview to the Asian archipelago and to a people with
close ties to the United States and a long history of emigration and contributions
to this country. The volume emphasizes how the strong indigenous Philippine
culture meshes with constant influences from the West. Rodell, a specialist
in Philippine history and society, superbly evokes the breadth of the Philippines
for students and the general public. The wide variety of Philippine traditions
is seen in each topic covered: the land, people, and history; religion
and thought; literature and art; architecture; cuisine and fashion; gender,
marriage, and family; festivals, media, film, and leisure activities; music
and dance; and social customs and lifestyle.

Dead
Season: A Story of Murder and Revenge on the Philippine Island of Negros
Alan Berlow
Book Description: This moody, brilliantly atmospheric work of
reportage is the story of three murders that took place on the Philppine
island of Negros. The first victim was a wealthy landowner. The second
was an impoverished farmer who was massacred, along with his wife and three
children, in a barrio whose name means "the place of the ghosts." The third
was a young soldier, who may have been killed by communist guerrillas or
on the orders of his commanding officer. On Negros, every death has many
stories.
In tracing the shadowy connections among these events, Alan Berlow,
a correspondent for National Public Radio, portrays a society in which
democracy is at best a hopeful fiction and everyone is a collaborator by
necessity. Beautifully written, rich in ambiguity, and as riveting as any
crime thriller, Dead Season is a work of tragic depth and complexity.

The
Embarrassment of Slavery: Controversies over Bondage and Nationalism in
the American Colonial Philippines
by Michael Salman
Book Description: A series of controversies over the existence
and meaning of slavery shaped American colonialism and nationalist resistance
in the Philippines. While American officials claimed colonialism would
free Filipinos from various forms of slavery and American anti-imperialists
countered that colonialism itself would constitute new kinds of bondage,
the first generation of Filipino nationalists had already appropriated
anti-slavery rhetoric in their struggles with Spanish colonialism in the
late nineteenth century. From these contentions about slavery as a political
metaphor, new disputes erupted when American officials "discovered" the
practice of slavery among minority groups, such as the Moro (Muslim) societies
of the southern Philippines and animist groups in upland northern Luzon.
Michael Salman reconstructs these controversies and charts the successive
emergence of slavery as an embarrassment for American colonial officials,
Filipino nationalists, and American anti-imperialists. The Embarrassment
of Slavery examines, for the first time, the salience of slavery and abolition
in the history of American colonialism and Philippine nationalism. In doing
so, it also makes major contributions to the global and comparative study
of slavery, abolition, colonialism, and nationalism. This book also expands
our understanding of slavery and abolition by explaining the link between
the globalization of nationalism and the spread of antislavery as a hegemonic
ideology in the modern world.

Ferdinand
Marcos and the Philippines: The Political Economy of Authoritarianism
by Albert F. Celoza
Book Description: Ferdinand Marcos came to power in the Philippines
in a coup d'etat in 1972 and ruled absolutely, in the name of order, until
his dramatic overthrow in February of 1986. This study examines how the
authoritarian regime of Marcos remained in power, sometimes in the face
of massive opposition, for 14 years. Repressive regimes may seem undesirable,
but they are often able to elicit the support of significant sectors of
society. Marcos was able to maintain authoritarian rule through the support
of bureaucrats, businessmen, and the military--all with the assistance
of the United States government. He maintained this network of support
through a patron-client system with a centralized bureaucracy as its power
and resource base. In order to reward his supporters, he expanded the authority
of government. But to minimize the political cost of expansion, he maintained
the legal and constitutional forms of democracy. The Philippine experience
in despotism is not unique; many Third World countries are under authoritarian
rule. This subtle and nuanced analysis, therefore, provides an examination
of the levers of power available to absolute rulers, to better understand
the political economy of authoritarianism.
