In Counter-Hispanization in the Colonial Philippines, the author analyzes the literature and politics of "spiritual conquest" in order to demonstrate how it reflected the contribution of religious ministers to a protracted period of social anomie throughout the mission provinces between the 16th-18th centuries. By tracking the prose of spiritual conquest with the history of the mission in official documents, religious correspondence, and public controversies, the author shows how, contrary to the general consensus in Philippine historiography, the literature and pastoral politics of spiritual conquest reinforced the frontier character of the religious provinces outside Manila in the Americas as well as the Philippines, by supplanting the (absence of) law in the name of supplementing or completing it. This frontier character accounts for the modern reinvention of native custom as well as the birth of literature and theater in the Tagalog vernacular.

El consejo de los dioses refleja las convicciones de José Rizal sobre el hispanismo. La obra dramática de Rizal se limita a dos obras teatrales, cada una de un acto que comprende una presentación de más o menos treinta minutos. Fueron escritas cuando el autor tenía diecinueve años y estudiaba en la Universidad de Santo Tomás. El consejo de los dioses, escrita el abril de 1880, ganó el primer premio en el concurso patrocinado por el Liceo Artístico de Manila. El texto tiene sus raíces en la educación clásica recibida por Rizal de los jesuitas del antiguo Ateneo Municipal; mezcla personajes de la mitología griega junto a Cervantes como tema de polémica de los dioses. El consejo de los dioses expresa el amor de Rizal hacia la Hispanidad, y muestra al hispanismo como solución de nuestros males.

Part of the American Literatures Initiative Series Beyond the Nation charts an expansive history of Filipino literature in the U.S., forged within the dual contexts of imperialism and migration, from the early twentieth century into the twenty-first. Martin Joseph Ponce theorizes and enacts a queer diasporic reading practice that attends to the complex crossings of race and nation with gender and sexuality. Tracing the conditions of possibility of Anglophone Filipino literature to U.S. colonialism in the Philippines in the early twentieth century, the book examines how a host of writers from across the century both imagine and address the Philippines and the United States, inventing a variety of artistic lineages and social formations in the process. Beyond the Nation considers a broad array of issues, from early Philippine nationalism, queer modernism, and transnational radicalism, to music-influenced and cross-cultural poetics, gay male engagements with martial law and popular culture, second-generational dynamics, and the relation between reading and revolution. Ponce elucidates not only the internal differences that mark this literary tradition but also the wealth of expressive practices that exceed the terms of colonial complicity, defiant nationalism, or conciliatory assimilation. Moving beyond the nation as both the primary analytical framework and locus of belonging, Ponce proposes that diasporic Filipino literature has much to teach us about alternative ways of imagining erotic relationships and political communities.
