Ideal for students, this comprehensive thematic encyclopedia focuses on the Philippines, an important archipelago nation in Southeast Asia. The Philippines is a nation that has experience being ruled by two separate colonial powers, home to a people who have had strong attachments to democratic politics, with a culture that is a rich mix of Chinese, Spanish, and American influences. What are important characteristics of contemporary daily life and culture in the Philippines today? This volume explores the geography, history, and society of this important island nation. Thematic chapters examine topics such as government and politics, history, food, etiquette, education, gender, marriage and sexuality, media and popular culture, music, art, and more. Each chapter opens with a general overview of the topic and is followed by alphabetically arranged entries that home in even closer on the topic. Sidebars and illustrations appear throughout the text, and appendixes cover a glossary, facts and figures, holidays chart, and vignettes that paint a picture of a typical "Day in the Life" of students and adults in the country. A bibliography rounds out the work. Modern Philippines is a comprehensive volume on this leading Southeast Asia island nation.

State and Society in the Philippines

By: Patricio N. Abinales,Donna J. Amoroso

This clear and nuanced introduction explores the Philippines’ ongoing and deeply charged dilemma of state-society relations through a historical treatment of state formation and the corresponding conflicts and collaboration between government leaders and social forces. Patricio N. Abinales and Donna J. Amoroso examine the long history of institutional weakness in the Philippines and the varied strategies the state has employed to overcome its structural fragility and strengthen its bond with society. The authors argue that this process reflects the country’s recurring dilemma: on the one hand is the state’s persistent inability to provide essential services, guarantee peace and order, and foster economic development; on the other is the Filipinos’ equally enduring suspicions of a strong state. To many citizens, this powerfully evokes the repression of the 1970s and the 1980s that polarized society and cost thousands of lives in repression and resistance and billions of dollars in corruption, setting the nation back years in economic development and profoundly undermining trust in government. The book’s historical sweep starts with the polities of the pre-colonial era and continues through the first year of Rodrigo Duterte’s controversial presidency.

Descorchados 2019 English

Guide to the Wines of Argentina, Brazil, Chile & Uruguay

By: Patricio Tapia

Published for the first time in 1999, Descorchados is the most important guide to the wines of South America. This year, no fewer than 4,341 samples from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay crossed the Descorchados tasting table, and 3,177 of them are included in this book. It’s an enormous job—but one we are very passionate about. Beyond the stats, however, we at Descorchados aim to offer a broad overview of what’s happening in the world of wine on this side of the planet. The latest trends, the newest valleys, the varieties that have been recovered or adopted, the names to keep an eye on, and the work being done by the large and small wineries alike. If they have character, we’re interested in them! Descorchados is a large and in-depth journalistic report that we do once a year to provide a wide-angle view of the dynamic and increasingly entertaining Latin American wine scene. More than 3,000 wines reviewed in this edition—and you’re sure to find more than one you like in Descorchados 2019! Cheers!

My Fathers' Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain

A Novel

By: Patricio Pron

The American debut of one of Granta’s Best Young Spanish-Language Novelists, My Fathers’ Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain is a daring and deeply affecting story of one Argentine family’s buried secrets. When a young writer returns home to visit his dying father, he finds himself drawn into an obsessive search for a local man gone missing. As the truth—not only about his father but an entire generation—comes to light, the narrator is forced to confront the ghosts of Argentina’s dark political past, as well as long-hidden memories about his own family’s history. Powerful and audacious, this semi-autobiographical novel is a thoroughly original story of corruption and responsibility, of history and remembrance, from one of South America’s most important new writers.
