Philippine studies : Have we gone beyond St. Louis?

Philippine studies : Have we gone beyond St. Louis? Priscelina Patajo-Legasto, editor - Quezon City University of the Philippines Press - xxiii, 775 pages : illustrations ;

Includes bibliographical references.

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.
