These essays by Philippine and U.S.-based scholars illustrate the dynamism and complexities of the discursive field of Philippine studies as a critique of vestiges of "universalist" (Western/hegemonic) paradigms; as an affirmation of "traditional" and "emergent" cultural practices; as a site for new readings of "old" texts and "new" popular forms brought into the ambit of serious scholarship; and as a liberative space for new art and literary genres.

Post-Colonial Literatures in English, together with English Literature and American Literature, form one of the three major groupings of literature in English, and, as such, are widely studied around the world. Their significance derives from the richness and variety of experience which they reflect. In three volumes, this Encyclopedia documents the history and development of this body of work and includes original research relating to the literatures of some 50 countries and territories. In more than 1,600 entries written by more than 600 internationally recognized scholars, it explores the effect of the colonial and post-colonial experience on literatures in English worldwide.

"A narrative of the life and career of Rosario de Guzman Lingat, one of the most prolific but understudied writers of the 1960s and 1970s. It traces key events in her life and shows how these complex experiences in her life and that of her nation could have shaped the directions she pursued as a popular writer for weekly magazines."--Page [4] of cover.

Drawing from original sources in Spanish and Tagalog, Blanco shows how artists and writers - in works as varied as plays, novels, histories, paintings, and reports submitted to the Spanish monarchy - struggled to synthesize these contradictions as they attempted to secure the colonial order or, conversely, to achieve Philippine independence."--BOOK JACKET.
