Edited by Glòria Cano
With a foreword by Reynaldo C. Ileto

Masterfully edited by eminent scholar Glòria Cano, the second volume of More Hispanic Than We Admit contains thirteen essays written by renowned Filipino and Spanish scholars that reflect multiple disciplinary and ideological perspectives. The collection includes reflections on religion and gender, literary criticism, and historical and ethnographic case studies, and delves into topics including identity, otherness, heterogeneity, and language.

Contributors move beyond the standard model of a bilateral circuit between imperial center and colonial periphery. They examine the fluid formation of Hispanic culture and governance in the Philippines and the native experience of and resistance to coloniality; they also emphasize the critique of America’s deliberate casting of Spain as its dark alter ego as central to any true understanding of Spain’s colonial project in the Philippines.

This anthology decenters the conventional narrative of dominion and resistance and instead seeks to be a provocative inquiry into the politics of what it means to be both Filipino and Hispanic. Cross-cultural and interdisciplinary, this book leads us to a powerful understanding of the nature and history of the multidimensional contours of modern Philippine identity.
