<br/><br/> This book should be required reading for those who want to understand the layered complexity of a country whose history has often been reduced to cliches like three hundred years in the convent and fifty years in Hollywood. Abinales and Amoroso have written a Philippine history for the twenty-first century-one that situates the country in Southeast Asia and globe and provides a rich perspective that moves far beyond the one-dimensional views that had long been offered by nationalist historians and orientalist commentators.
