Böcker av Jr. San Juan

Carlos Bulosan-Revolutionary Filipino Writer in the United States attempts an in-depth critical evaluation of the major works in the context of the sociopolitical changes that configured the writer's sensibility during the Depression, the united-front mobilization prior to World War II, and the Cold War witch-hunting of the fifties.

In the Wake of Terror focuses on the controversies over the linkage of class exploitation and the ideology of racism, the role of nationalism in postcolonial politics, and ethnic exclusion.

Offers an historical-materialist critique of practices in multiculturalism and cultural studies. Rejecting contemporary theories of inclusion as affirmations of the capitalist status quo, this book envisions a future of politically equal and economically empowered citizens through the democratisation of power and the socialisation of property.

Caught betwixt the Asian continent and the hegemonic power of the United States, the Philippines occupies a contested space or borderland between past and present, East and West. Balancing the memory of colonial experience with an emergent nation-making dream, this innovative book asks if a meaningful future can be envisioned.
