Manila Noir
Manila is not for the faint of heart. Population: over ten million and growing by the minute. Climate: hot, humid and prone to torrential monsoon rains of biblical proportions. The ultimate femme fatale, she's complicated and mysterious, with a tainted, painful past. The perfect, torrid setting for noir. Edited by Dogeaters (Penguin, 1991) author and National Book Award Nominee Jessica Hagedorn, and featuring original stories from a stunning group of multi-award-winning authors.
La India, Or Island of the Disappeared
Innocence, fear, and intrigue permeate this collection of interrelated stories, which span more than four hundred years, from the time of the fictional Datu Kalantiaw to the postmodern phenomenon of migrant labor. The result is a concatenation of tales, legends, official history, alternative histories, mythic and fairy-tale formulas, and all manner of discourse that the author could pull out of the cornucopia of texts that compose Philippines island life. "The stories are a wonderful weave of history and imagination, showing Rosario Cruz-Lucero's expertise with language and narrative structure. Wit, irony, and humor emanate from her style--a combination of magic realism and surrealism--which renders the reading of the stories a pleasurable experience. There is a pervading linkage between the stories, some invented "historical" relationship of characters and plot, through which a main central narrative emerges." --Dr. Cirilo F. Bautista, poet, fictionist, and professor emeritus of De La Salle University
Bewitching Women, Pious Men
"This collection presents new ethnographic research, framed in terms of new theoretical developments, and contains fine scholarship and lively writing."—Janet Hoskins, University of Southern California "This is a wonderful collection of essays. At one level they tell us about the transformation and often painful fragmentation of gendered selves in post-colonial states and a speeded-up transnational world. At another level they display the continuing power of ethnography to surprise and move us."—Sherry Ortner, University of California, Berkeley
