Culture and Customs of the Philippines by Paul A Rodell
Culture and Customs of the Philippines provides the best general overview to the Asian archipelago and to a people with close ties to the United States and a long history of emigration and contributions to this country.
Rodell has produced a balanced and detailed description of a complex society with a tangled past and multifaceted culture that is of use to general readers, as well as to researchers looking for a scholarly introduction to the country…Readers coming to this book will find not just a painstaking review of every major element of culture but also current observations of the social scene that take into account a wide variety of factors, from influences of geography and climate to circumstances of history to socioeconomic and political factors….For an analysis that provides both entertainment and depth, this book is to be commended. * The Journal of Asian Studies *
