SISA'S VENGEANCE: Rizal / Woman / Revolution
An innovative radical interpretation of the life and works of Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines, the "pride of the Malay race," in the context of crisis in the neocolony and world revolution against imperialism at the beginning of the twenty-first century. This supplements the author's earlier book, Rizal in Our Time, Revised Edition (Manila: Anvil Publishing, 2011).

Si Rizal
Collection of critical essays on Rizal as a novelist.
South American Independence
Examining women writers from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Colombia, this book traces the contradictions inherent in revolutionary movements that, while arguing for the rights of all, remained ambivalent, at best, about the place of women. It reveals the complex role of women in shaping the vexed ideologies of independence.
Musical Renderings of the Philippine Nation
The first cultural history of the Philippines during the twentieth century, Musical Renderings of the Philippine Nation focuses on the relationships between music, performance, and ideologies of nation. Spanning the hundred years from the Filipino-American War to the 1998 Centennial celebration of the nation's independence from Spain, the book has added emphasis on the period after World War II. Author Christi-Anne Castro describes the narratives of nation embedded in several major musical genres, such as classical music and folkloric song and dance, and enacted by the most well-known performers of the country, including Bayanihan, The Philippine National Dance Company and the Philippine Madrigal Singers. Castro delves into the ideas and works of prominent native composers, from the popular art music of Francisco Santiago and Lucio San Pedro to the People Power anthem of 1986 by Jim Paredes of the group Apo Hiking Society. Through both archival research and ethnographic fieldwork, Castro reveals how individuals and groups negotiate with and contest the power of the state to define the nation as a modern and hybrid entity within a global community.
