How does the language of poetry conspire with the language of
power? This question is at the heart of this volume which deals
with Indonesia and the Philippines in the early modern and
post-1945 periods. These two nations have been shaped by the forces
of nationalism, revolution, and metropolitan hegemony. Whether
written in Malay, Tagalog, English, or Dutch the writings coming
from them carry the contradictions of their time and place in the
milieu of race and class. The contributors examine the literature
and politics of Indonesia and Philippines from the point of view of
contemporary thinking. Their examinations include the responses of
indigenous writers to censorship and to their marginalization and
cooption by colonial and neocolonial states. They investigate the
rhetoric of spectacle in the Philippines of Ferdinand Marcos, the
function of pasyon in Tagalog religious narrative, the writings of
Pramoedya Ananta Toer in Indonesia, and the memoirs of a Javanese
aristocrat. This book will be of interest to colonial historians
and to students and scholars of non-Western and comparative
literature.
