John D. Blanco argues that modernity in the colonial Philippines should not be understood as an imperfect version of a European model but as a unique set of expressions emerging out of contradictions-expressions that sanctioned new political communities formed around the precariousness of Spanish rule. Blanco shows how artists and writers struggled to synthesize these contradictions as they attempted to secure the colonial order or, conversely, to achieve Philippine independence. 410 0$aAsia Pacific modern ;$v4. 606 $aChristianity$zPhilippines$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aPhilippines$xPolitics and government$y19th century 607 $aPhilippines$xCivilization$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristianity$xHistory 676 $a959.9/02 700 $aBlanco$b John D.$f1968-$01033041 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464885003321 996 $aFrontier constitutions$92451276 997 $aUNINA
