Reviews

"In this compelling and important book, Claudio documents the influence of liberal intellectuals in imagining--and building--the Filipino nation. . . . This is a timely book as illiberalism and populism are on the rise worldwide. Will liberal democracy survive the current challenges? We don't know, but Claudio makes us better equipped to grapple with this important question."
