El Espanol en Filipinas: The History of the Spanish Language, the Academia Filipina, and Hispano-Cul
In stock
El ESPAÑOL EN FILIPINAS charts the vicissitudes of the Spanish language in the postcolonial Philippines, beginning with the traumatic rupture with Spain in 1898. The text also explores the development of Hispano-FIlipino culture from the late ninetenth century through the American occupation, the Spanish CIvil War, and World War ll, events that drasticaally impacted Spanish-speaking communities. Tragically, these historical developments transformed the leading language of the late nineteenth-century illustrados, early nationalist, and the clase directora (ruling class) into a language of a minority. The narrative not only highlights the efflorescent Hispano-Filipino literary tradition but also delves into the perofrming garts during a time when Spanish-language theater, radio shows, musical concerts, and public oratory were prevalent. This tumultous and fascinating history is intertwined with the great vision and struggles of the Academia Filipina de la Lengua Española to uphold and give luster to a language assocaited with five hundred years of Philippine history and culture. Shorn of postcolonial nostalgia, the book tackles with honesty the role and future of the Spanish language and Hispano-Filipino culture in twenty-first-century Philippines.
