Out of print for more than a decade, the ground-breaking Philippine Postcolonial Studies is now reissued for the benefit of scholars, both young and old, who are interested in using this postcolonial paradigm to interrogate the more traditional approaches previously applied to the study and teaching of cultural practices. Though still controversial, the critical insights proposed in these essays remain valid today, and like Philippine Postcolonial Studies itself, this book has produced "insightful critical texts, foregrounded hitherto marginalized literary and cultural practices, and ...contributed to a better understanding of our own society."
