E-Book Overview
This revised and expanded edition contains more than 400 cross-referenced entries, alphabetically arranged, of historical events, personalities, and institutions that have shaped the Philippines since its prehistoric beginnings to the contemporary period. The entries, written in brief and lively prose, present a handy reference of major episodes, significant movements, and political and economic developments in the country's struggle to become one of Southeast Asia vibrant democratic republics. The more than four centuries of the Philippines history covered by Guillermo, including the periods of Spanish and American dominance over the country, is neatly wrapped up in an introduction, clearly laid out in a chronology, complemented with statistical data in the appendix, and concluded with a bibliography allowing further research and study.
