Contracting Colonialism – Translation and Christian Conversion in Tagalog Society Under Early Spanish Rule

Autor Vicente L. Rafael
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 noi 1992
In an innovative mix of history, anthropology, and post-colonial theory, Vicente L. Rafael examines the role of language in the religious conversion of the Tagalogs to Catholicism and their subsequent colonization during the early period (1580-1705) of Spanish rule in the Philippines. By tracing this history of communication between Spaniards and Tagalogs, Rafael maps the conditions that made possible both the emergence of a colonial regime and resistance to it. Originally published in 1988, this new paperback edition contains an updated preface that places the book in theoretical relation to other recent works in cultural studies and comparative colonialism.

Recenzii

ÒAn innovative and fascinating interpretation of the early Spanish period. . . . His focus on translation and conversion makes his book of great value not only to Philippine historians but also to scholars interested in the role of language in history. This study is a work that deserves to be read and reread carefully.Ó --Bruce L. Fenner, American Historical Review
