Beschreibung

Neuware - 'To read the book is to appreciate the highly contingent, provisional, oblique, open-ended way in which people try to make 'sense' of another culture.'--Resil B. Mojares, 'Philippine Graphic' 'This book is an interestingly complex ethnography that approaches the self-critical dialectical ethnography called for two decades ago.It is a welcome contribution to postmodernist theory and to the ethnography of the Visayas.'--Ronald Provencher, 'Journal of Asian Studies'.
