John
Blanco has published Frontier Constitutions, a pathbreaking study
of the cultural transformations arrived at by the Spanish colonists, native-born
creoles, mestizos (Chinese and Spanish), and indigenous colonial subjects in the
Philippines during the crisis of colonial hegemony in the nineteenth century,
and the social anomie that resulted from this crisis in law and politics. 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.
