- Description:
-
"All of these essays and journalistic pieces were done after the February 1986 uprising, except for the article on culture and ideology which was slightly updated and extended to the present. Their political and cultural climate is that of the Aquino government which carries over much from the Marcos regime, at the same time that it has, in two years, defined a character of its own, shaped by internal and external pressures."
