Description

Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2023 This comprehensive thematic encyclopedia focuses on the Philippines, exploring this important island nation from a variety of perspectives. The Philippines is a nation that has experience being ruled by two separate colonial powers, is home to a people who have had strong attachments to democratic politics, and possesses a culture that is a rich mix of Chinese, Spanish, and American influences. What are some important characteristics of contemporary daily life and culture in the Philippines? Thematic chapters examine topics such as government and politics, history, food, etiquette, education, gender, marriage and sexuality, media and popular culture, music, art, and more. Each chapter opens with a general overview of the topic and is followed by alphabetically arranged entries that home in even closer on the topic. Sidebars and illustrations appear throughout the text, and appendixes cover a glossary, facts and figures, holidays chart, and vignettes that paint a picture of a typical “Day in the Life.”
