5.0 out of 5 stars An Invaluable Collection, May 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Journey of 100 Years: Reflections on the Centennial of Philippine Independence (Paperback)

The editors, Brainard and Litton, have assembled a unique and important volume of personal and historical reflections on the Filipino experience. This interdisciplinary collection brings together views from the Philippiines and the voices of Filipinos in the U.S. It's a must-read for anyone interested in the post-colonial experience. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars INTERROGATION OF THE PHILIPPINE COLONIAL CONDITION, November 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Journey of 100 Years: Reflections on the Centennial of Philippine Independence (Paperback)

"This audacious book, a centennial stock-taking on an independence that never was, constructed as a journey to a goal yet to be realized, is in all of its parts, an interrogation of the colonial condition. In spite of profoundly divergent viewpoints, it strikes a resounding echo: Tama na!" - from Roger Bresnahan's book review of Journey of 100 Years, which appeared in Amerasia Journal.
