Pagbabagong-dangal: Indigenous Psychology & Cultural Empowerment by Virgilio G. Enriquez
Share this Product
This book by Virgilio G. Enriquez addresses the need for Filipino psychology to develop independently from Western influences in order to establish a strong Filipino identity. It outlines how colonialism destroyed indigenous culture and presents a model for cultural empowerment and decolonization. Key aspects of the model include identifying important indigenous concepts, elaborating on them, and applying the framework to issues in the Philippines. The book also examines indigenous Filipino religious consciousness and its emphasis on monotheism, interconnectedness with nature, and highly developed values and religious systems. It argues for developing psychology and culture from an internal, indigenous perspective to undo the effects of colonial domination.
