Book Overview: Across the centuries, the Philippine Islands have been treated as pawns in a vast geopolitical game; colonized, militarized, terrorized. And yet through it all, the homegrown culture of this remarkable archipelago-the first democracy in Asia-has proven to be not only resilient, but defiant, as evidenced by its two recent outbursts of people power.
