Sinopsis

In "The Philippines - Past and Present (Vol. 1&2)", Dean C. Worcester presents a meticulous examination of the Philippines during a pivotal era approaching the turn of the 20th century. Through a blend of comprehensive historical narrative and vivid ethnographic detail, Worcester captures the social, political, and cultural transformations occurring in the archipelago under American colonial rule. His descriptive style, underpinned by extensive personal observation and photographic documentation, immerses the reader in the complexities of Filipino identities, colonial encounters, and the environmental landscape, thereby framing a crucial period of significant transition. Dean C. Worcester, an American zoologist and colonial official, possessed a unique vantage point to observe and document the Philippines. His tenure as a member of the Philippine Commission granted him access to various regions and communities, fostering an understanding that transcended mere academic inquiry. Worcester's distinct perspective is also influenced by his cultural background, which sheds light on his engagement with the Filipino populace and his role in shaping American perceptions of the islands within the broader context of imperial interests. This scholarly work serves as a vital resource for historians, cultural anthropologists, and readers interested in colonial studies. It invites readers to explore the nuanced interplay of identity and power dynamics in Filipino society, making it an indispensable addition to any library focused on the history of the Philippines and the legacy of colonialism.

White Poverty - How Exposing...

Reverend Dr. William Barber II,...

A generational work with far-ranging social and political implications, White Poverty promises to be one of the most influential books in recent years. 
 
 
 
One of the most pernicious and persistent myths in the United States is the association of Black skin with poverty. Though there are forty million more poor white people than Black people, most Americans, both Republicans and Democrats, continue to think of poverty—along with issues like welfare, unemployment, and food stamps—as solely a Black problem. Why is this so? What are the historical causes? And what are the political consequences that result? 
 
 
 
These are among the questions that the Reverend Dr. William J. Barber II, a leading advocate for the rights of the poor and the "closest person we have to Dr. King" (Cornel West), addresses in White Poverty, a groundbreaking work that exposes a legacy of historical myths that continue to define both white and Black people, creating in the process what might seem like an insuperable divide. Analyzing what has changed since the 1930s, when the face of American poverty was white, Barber, along with Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, addresses white poverty as a hugely neglected subject that just might provide the key to mitigating racism and bringing together tens of millions of working class and impoverished Americans.
