Books by E. San Juan

Offers an historical-materialist critique of practices in multiculturalism and cultural studies. Rejecting contemporary theories of inclusion as affirmations of the capitalist status quo, this book envisions a future of politically equal and economically empowered citizens through the democratisation of power and the socialisation of property.

Presents Filipino literary production within context of a long and sustained tradition of anti-imperialist insurgency, and foregrounds the strong presence of oppositional writing in Philippines. This title goes beyond literary studies and debates about nationalism and politics to point the way to a new direction in radical transformative writing.

A collection of Carlos Bulosan's short stories, essays, poetry, and correspondence.

Caught betwixt the Asian continent and the hegemonic power of the United States, the Philippines occupies a contested space or borderland between past and present, East and West. Balancing the memory of colonial experience with an emergent nation-making dream, this innovative book asks if a meaningful future can be envisioned.
