      abstract = {The Philippines is a country in its adolescence,  struggling by fits and starts to emerge from a rich,  troubled and multilayered past. From its first settlement  through the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century to  the subsequent American occupation and beyond, this work  recasts various Philippine narratives, familiar and  unfamiliar, with an eye for the layers of colonial and post  colonial history that have created this diverse and  fascinating population.  The narrative moves from a pre  Hispanic Philippines in the 16th century through the  Spanish American War, the nation's tumultuous relationship  with the United States, and General MacArthur's controlling  presence during WWII, up to its independence in 1946 and  subsequent years of Islamic insurgency.  The author creates  a portrait that provides the reader valuable insights into  the heart and soul of the modern Filipino, laying bare the  multicultural, multiracial society of modern times.},
