Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contemporary Manila, slums and squatter settlements are peppered throughout the city, often pushing right up against the walled enclaves of the privileged, creating the complex geopolitical pattern of Marco Z. Garrido’s “patchwork city.” Garrido documents the fragmentation of Manila into a mélange of spaces defined by class, particularly slums and upper- and middle-class enclaves. He then looks beyond urban fragmentation to delineate its effects on class relations and politics, arguing that the proliferation of these slums and enclaves and their subsequent proximity have intensified class relations. For enclave residents, the proximity of slums is a source of insecurity, compelling them to impose spatial boundaries on slum residents. For slum residents, the regular imposition of these boundaries creates a pervasive sense of discrimination. Class boundaries then sharpen along the housing divide, and the urban poor and middle class emerge not as labor and capital but as squatters and “villagers,” Manila’s name for subdivision residents. Garrido further examines the politicization of this divide with the case of the populist president Joseph Estrada, finding the two sides drawn into contention over not just the right to the city, but the nature of democracy itself. The Patchwork City illuminates how segregation, class relations, and democracy are all intensely connected. It makes clear, ultimately, that class as a social structure is as indispensable to the study of Manila—and of many other cities of the Global South—as race is to the study of American cities.

This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Philippines, known as the bulwark of democracy in Asia, has the "freest" press in the region. But people outside of Manila complain they have been deprived of the benefits of the printed word. Coverage of Manila newspapers has been confined mainly in the capital; there are no community newspapers in most of the towns and cities in the countryside where majority of Filipinos live (population: 101 million). Despite its limited coverage, the Philippine press has attracted worldwide attention. The international press describes the Philippines as one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists ---more than 300 journalists have been murdered in the past several years. The book traces the roots of the problems of the Philippine press. Reuters reporter Joel Palacios recounts the travails of a muzzled press under strongman Ferdinand Marcos, and cites public journalism, or civic journalism, as one of the best ways to address the people's need for news and information in the rural areas. Palacios gives a complete account of the events that led to the "People Power" revolt that catapulted Corazon Aquino to power. He gives stark details of massacre of civilians by the military, behind-the-scene report of the coup against Marcos, and humorous episodes in the battle for hearts and minds of the people. The book tells the rise and fall of the Marcos regime, the predicament of a censored press and the benefits of public journalism. The book hopes to clear a lot of myths surrounding the "people power" revolt and rise of Aquino to the presidency.

Book excerpt: "The Filipino diaspora is at least 400 years old. Since the sixteenth century, Filipinos have been going to foreign lands to find their place in the sun. In the beginning they were known as the Manila Men. It was only in the nineteenth century that they assumed their present identity as Filipinos." "For two-and-a-half centuries, Filipinos by the hundreds traveled yearly to Mexico and the Americas, with many electing to stay and find a new life. The chief means for migration was the Manila galleon, also known as nao de China, that sailed between the Philippines and Mexico to carry on a lively trade in Asian goods in exchange for silver from the Americas and the trappings of civilization from the West." "The end of the galleon trade in 1815 did not stop the exodus of Filipinos to foreign lands as they began to discover the lure of other exotic ports in Asia and Europe. This book attempts to answer the question often asked: What happened to those Filipinos who started the diaspora? The answers are important because they fill a gap in the long history of this adventurous race."--BOOK JACKET.
