Philippine Politics and Society in
                  the Twentieth Century
                  Well over a decade has passed since the dramatic ‘People Power Revolution’ in
                  Manila, yet until now no book-length study has emerged to examine the manifold
                  changes underway in the Philippines in the post-Marcos era. This book fills that
                  gap. Philippine Politics and Society in the Twentieth Century offers historical depth
                  and sophisticated theoretical insight into contemporary life in the archipelago.
                    Organised as a set of interrelated thematic essays rather than a chronological
                  account, the book addresses key topics which will be of interest to the academic
                  and non-academic reader, such as trends in national-level and local politics, the
                  role of ethnic-Chinese capital in the Philippine economy, nationalism and popular
                  culture, and various forms of political violence and extra-electoral contestation.
                  Drawing on a wide variety of primary and secondary sources, as well as over a
                  decade of research and work in the area, Hedman and Sidel provide an invaluable
                  overview of the contemporary and historical scene of a much misunderstood
                  part of Southeast Asia. This book fills an important gap in the literature for
                  readers interested in understanding the Philippines as well as students of Asian
                  studies, comparative politics, political economy and cultural studies.
