What is Historical Dictionary of the Philippines about?

With its unique history, culture, religion, politics, and economics, the Philippines sometimes fares worse than its neighbors; in other respects, it is better, but rarely is it on an identical track. Although it is a particularly distinct component of Southeast Asia, it is impossible to understand Asia without a knowledge of the islands. Historical Dictionary of the Philippines, Second Edition is a comprehensive resource for anyone wishing to understand the past, present, and future significance of this dynamic nation. <p> This dictionary provides hundreds of entries on the country, from the earliest periods to the present. It includes the periods of Spanish and then American domination, as well as the lively and somewhat unpredictable democracy that followed. The entries focus on important persons, places, events, institutions, economics, and social and cultural aspects. This book includes a detailed introduction, chronology, and bibliography.</p>
