"These articles interrogate diverse issues in Philippine cultural history : the place of Nick Joaquin in the nation's historiography: the debate on the class position of Andres Bonifacio and the revolutionary outbreak of 1896 ; Filipino-Spanish interactions in the world of print ; the social history of religious devotions ; the state of regional literary studies and the case of Filipino crime fiction ; and Philippine electoral politics as seen in the cracked mirror of Pascual Racuyal's career. The book ends with the author's reflections on the past hour decades of Philippine cultural studies."--Back cover.
