The Resil Mojares Reader

This reader edited by Hope Sabanpan Yu contains twelve articles on Cebu selected from the writings of scholar Resil B. Mojares. Written between 1976 and 2012, the articles range from a variety of topics including Cebuano notions of personhood, space, and 'world', the historical formations of rural and metropolitan communities in Cebu, the symbolic dynamics of early Cebuano fiction, and the politics of nationalism as it played out in local controversies in the early 20th century over US economic dominance, the Cebuano migration to Hawaii, and the political career of Sergio Osmena.
