Bayan sa Labas ng Maynila (The Nation Beyond Manila)

“"This is adventurous work— — daring in its crossing of regional borders, capacious in its appetite for diverse forms, energetic in engaging issues of cultural politics raised by the texts encountered. In a field where so much scholarship is tepid and pious it is great to find this book.”—" - Resil B. Mojares.
