"This volume is a timely and groundbreaking intervention into postcolonial studies, filling a very large gap in postcolonial criticism. Filipino literature has for too long been absent from postcolonial attention, and few literatures are more relevant to such a reading. This reading of Filipino literature offers a sophisticated merging of narratology, cultural study, and language analysis that forges a new direction in postcolonial literary criticism.
–Bill Ashcroft
This book offers an important, regionally specific, and locally contextualized study of a distinct literary tradition which has tended to be overlooked by the global enterprise of postcolonial studies. Addressing both the unique colonial history of the Philippines and the critical lacunae of its scholarship, Arong carves out a compelling case for the value of narrative theory in investigating the formal innovations of this literary tradition. In particular, the nuanced account of the interplay between politically stratified languages and dialects in the construction of narrative authority is a valuable contribution to the developing field of postcolonial narratology.
