The Philippines: A Singular And A Plural Place, Third Edition (Nations of the Modern World : Asia)
by David Joel Steinberg
Category: History

In his 1982 endorsement of the first edition of this book, the late Benigno Aquino Jr., noted that “anyone wanting to understand the Philippines and the Filipinos today must include this book in his ‘must’ reading list.” His recommendation holds equally true for the third edition of this widely praised work. The author has extensively revised his classic to assess Aquino’s legacy and the transition to the Ramos presidency, making even more valuable a work Benigno Aquino found “endlessly readable and illuminated by penetrating insights into the complex character of the Filipino.”
