"State and Society in the Philippines has become required reading for students and aspiring young scholars from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. This revised edition brings the discussion up to date with timely chapters on the Gloria Arroyo, Benigno Aquino II1, and Rodrigo R. Duterte administrations, and on issues of democratic contestation, distribution of power, gender, ethnicity mobility, and diaspora that are transforming state-society relations. The book's appeal for young readers lies not only in its thoughtful, lucid overview of Filipino history, politics, and culture, but also- and just as important- in its reframing of the issues and debates that inform the understanding and study of our Country and our people. -Caroline S. Hau, Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Kyoto University
This book should be required reading for those who want to understand the layered complexity of a country whose history has often been reduced to clichés like three hundred years in the convent and fifty years in Hollywood. Abinales and Amoroso have written a Philippine history for the twenty-first century-one that situates the country in Southeast Asia and the globe and provides a rich perspective that moves far beyond the one-dimensional views that had long been offered by nationalist historians and orientalist commentators." -Sheila S. Coronel, Columbia University
"Abinales and Amoroso go far beyond what one would expect from a textbook, providing not only an overview of Philippine politics but also a creative new inter-pretation of state-society dynamics that is grounded in historical analysis stretch-
ing back to the precolonial era." -Paul D. Hutchcroft, The Australian National University
