Fantasy-Production: Sexual Economies and Other Philippine Consequences for the New World Order Neferti Xina Tadiar
“Fantasy-Production establishes Neferti Tadiar as an astute, imaginative, and theoretically sophisticated cultural critic of the Philippines and the Pacific. The book ranges in coverage from issues of popular culture to issues in the historiography of the Philippines. Tadiar is sensitive throughout to the dialectic between the global and the local; analyzing the impact of global forces on Philippine society, while enriching our understanding of how the local permutations of global forces at a variety of levels may be crucial to any understanding not just of the Philippines but also of issues in Pacific and global studies.”—Arif Dirlik

Filipinos Writing: Philippine Literature from the Regions Edited by Bienvenido Lumbera

Flying over Kansas: Personal Views Rowena Tiempo Torrevillas
The essays in this book are grouped into two: personal and critical. Some of the heart-warming personal essays and cerebral critical essays in this present volume originated as lectures given in Iowa City, and are also the product of a cross-cultural upbringing. As the daughter of writers Edilberto and Edith Tiempo, Rowena T. Torrevillas feels that her work with authors from around the world is an inevitable extension of a childhood lived among writers at the annual Philippine National Writers’ Workshop held in picturesque Dumaguete City.
