The essays in this collection survey major landmarks 
in the Ateneo de Manila University¿s 
150-year history. But, rather than being a 
comprehensive history of the Ateneo as an 
institution, these essays are instead reflections of 
how the Ateneo¿s own history has been closely 
intertwined with that of the Filipino nation 
on how the university has sought to engage the 
nation towards the creation of a more just and 
equitable society in keeping with the goals of 
the Ateneo as a Jesuit, Catholic, and Filipino 
institution of learning.

The book places the exchange (1892-93) within the larger battle between the Enlightenment and Roman Catholicism. Though the principal theater was Europe, the repercussions were worldwide. Taking place in a remote corner of the dying Spanish empire, the correspondence represents a clash not only of ideas but of two cultures. Its significance lies in Rizal's role in Philippine history. Eschewing the polemicism that has often attended treatment of Rizal's conflict with the Church, the author offers a fresh critique from perspectives afforded by Vatican II and by distance in time.Published in this volume for the first time are Rizal's original letters, unearthed from Spanish archives. The English translation of the Correspondence affords the modern reader access to the debate on burning religious questions, which in the late nineteenth century, were inextricably linked with political and social issues.

"'Explorations in Philippine Folklore' is a major contribution to the study of folklore in the Philippines...These sparkling essays reflect remarkable variety, ranging from discussions of jeepney inscriptions to content analyses of ballads, epics, folktales, and legends. Moreover, the sophisticated discussion, informed by performance theory and feminist theory, found throughout the book sets this volume apart from nearly all previous investigations of Filipino folklore... Every serious student of the folklore of the Philippines should be required to read this stimulating and insightful set of essays." -Alan Dundes (University of California, Berkeley)

Predatory competition in the land market, the government's inability to provide housing for the urban poor, and the migration of thousands from the countryside have led to the growth of large squatter colonies in Metro Manila. Defending a Place emphatically maintains that, in this context, squatting is a solution rather than a problem. It details the struggle of the urban landless to secure a place in a city that has become an arena of global players and forces.
