"..well worth reading. Salamanca, through meticulous scholarship, has uncovered much of great interest, especially in the section dealing with the private lack of enthusiasm on the part of Quezon and Osmena for early independence. He writes with clarity and force."
David Joel Steinberg
Universtity of Michigan
In The American Historical Review
"Probably the most scholarly presentation of the revisionist approach to the Taft Era which sees collaboration between ilustrados and the Philippine Commission as the principal theme, with both American reformism and Filipino nationalist resistance reduced to subsidiary roles."

"...the author has mad a significant contribution to the history of the Philippine-American relations."
Michael P. Onorato
California State College 
In Pacific Historical Review
"This is a fine study of the "Taft Era", in the Philippines. It focuses on the Filipino elite and demonstrates that by ruling through this group the United States was restricted in many ways to only those policies whose goals were shared by this elite, such as in the fields of education and religion. Where the goals differed, such as in decentralization or socioeconomic reforms, little change as affected."
"The study under review is the fruit of wide and diligent research in many sources as yet little explored, and is a substantial addition to our knowledge of this crucial period in Filipino-American relations.
 ...the work of Professor Salamanca is of great value, not ony for the solid results of his research, but for the numerous directions for further research to which it points."

Filipino Reaction to American Rule 1901-1913

Salamanca, Bonifacio S.

Excerpt from the Foreword: A reading of his life story will show you that he was a man of integrity, who played fair even with his opponents, and who could be generous in victory. I can vouch in all sincerity for the sterling attributes of "Amang" Rodriguez as a man, a politician and a public official - Arturo M. Tolentino

Chick Parsons: America's Master Spy in the Philippines

No scholarly article in recent memory has caused as much controversy as Philippine academic circles as Glenn May's "A Part Revisited, A Past Distorted,"an extended critique of the "nationalist" school of Philippine historiography that appeared in the Diliman Review in 1983. That article serves as the starting point of this volume of essays by Professor May, one of the most respected historians of the Philippines in the United States. Relying on a wide range of primary sources, most of them archival, he takes issues with several articles of faith of the nationalists--among them, the notion that the Philippine-American War was a genuine popular struggle. He argues as well that a number of widely accepted ideas about the Philippine past--for example, the belief that the holders of elective office in the Philippine municipalities during the Spanish era were the actual holders of political power--are nothing more than myths. Furthermore, in his final essay, he takes some healthy swipes at the scholarly contribution of academics situated on both the right and left sides of the ideological spectrum.
