Carlos Bulosan—Revolutionary Filipino Writer in the United States: A Critical Appraisal is an in-depth, critical evaluation of Bulosan's major works in the context of the sociopolitical changes that configured his sensibility during the Depression, the united-front mobilization prior to World War II, and the Cold War witch-hunting of the fifties. Unprecedented for its thorough historical-materialist analysis of the symbolic dynamics of the texts, this book uses original research into the Sanora Babb papers that have never before been linked to Bulosan. Sophisticated dialectical analysis of the complex contradictions in Bulosan’s life is combined with a politico-ethical reading of U.S.-Philippines relations. San Juan takes the unorthodox view that Bulosan’s career was not an immigrant success story but instead a subversive project of an organic intellectual of a colonized nation-in-the-making. Today, Bulosan is hailed as a revolutionary Filipino writer, unparalleled in the racialized, conflicted history of the Philippines as a colony/dependency of the United States. This book follows San Juan’s pioneering 1972 study Carlos Bulosan and the Imagination of the Class Struggle.

Описание: Reflections on Life in the San Juan Islands is a series of essays on island living in the Pacific Northwest. They are wistful, introspective and laugh-out-loud funny. Admirers of The New York Times' Verlyn Klinkenborg will find a kindred voice in Kalbert's natural instinct for the telling detail. A winter day begins with "the wind howls down the chimney like a hungry cat." A summer filled with spotted fawns, plate sized crabs, boating and flying begins when "long days have grown into dazzling stalks of sunlight." The Trumpeter swans that arrive each November are a gentle reminder that to all things there is a time and a season. Reflections on Life in the San Juan Islands is a must read for those who want a glimpse of island life from the inside.
