In the last ten years, the Philippines has undergone nothing short of a culinary revolution. At first as an expatriate living in London, then eventually fully immersed in the scene as a writer and critic, Philippine Daily Inquirer’s resident food reviewer chronicles the remarkable transformation of gastronomic backwater into a giddy, opulent, and at times overwhelming foodie scene.
A collection of Filipino expats’ reminiscences–especially during the writers’ growing-up-into-adulthood years–primarily of home and hometown, but having Filipino cooking as the unifying thread: favorite dishes and native delicacies, family recipes and food rituals, favorite watering holes and memorable eating places anywhere in the Philippines.
This volume brings together a collection of essays analysing the current scenario in South and Southeast Asia with respect to the position of minority groups. Based on an in-depth investigation of some of the lasting minority–majority conflicts of the post-colonial period in countries that often escape comparison, the articles are a rich and critical exposition of the social, economic, cultural and political dimensions of these struggles. The central question being addressed is that of community rights in the modern nation-state and how these are being understood by the two concerned parties and, where and when, thereof, a situation of conflict arose.
