In analyzing the process by which the United States granted independence to the Philippines, rather than simply observing the effects of that process and then speculating backwards, Carlson attempted to provide new insights into the nature of the Filipino-American colonial relationship. A critical review of recently declassified American documents and the private papers of the key American officials involved in the decolonization process illustrates the inadequacies of past historical interpretations of the Filipino-American relationship. What emerges from these previously untapped sources is a fascinating tale of interdepartmental rivalries, competing private corporate and national interests, cross-cultural confusion, and personality conflicts.

"Great Philippine Jungle Energy Cafe" is tavantgarde experimental work and will stump you if you insist on narrative as dished out by the komiks or the native cinema. But if you dont read it for narration but instead read it as poem, then you will move from line to line with the increasing awareness that you are enjoying each line as a seperate experience.

Social Sciences

This book is designed to fill the need for an introductory text on the sociology of the family as applied to the Philippine setting. Books on the sociology of the family which are available locally are foreign-based and therefore the concerns are not within the Filipino experience. The very few books on the Filipino family are good as references but inadequate as sociology textbooks.

This anthology comprises love poems in English by Filipino poets over practically a hundred years from 1905 to the present. The aim is to give a long view, as it were, of the experience of love in our own time and place: not so much the concept or abstraction as, from poem to poem, the living, the experience. As the Introduction puts it: "About love and the chemistry of its weathers, they are never wrong, the poets.... Nothing is false in the clasp of their verses, for their truth is never absolute but contingent: the unarguable truth of individual experience. 'The only reality,' says Jung, 'is the individual': that is to say, the reality that every man or woman knows in her heart and in his bones, and central to that reality is the experience of love."

The voluminous book provides a range of international theories and methodologies in analytical folklore investigations, and a classification scheme based on genre is offered as the system of taxonomy for Philippine traditional materials. Lopez counts on the regional folklorists to refine the classification according to the texts of their respective areas. The different genres, too, are explained and examined in another part of Lopez's study. The reader will definitely find interesting and useful, the illustrative examples for each genre.
