Reviews

""John D. Blanco has contributed with his book to a better understanding of evangelization and the so-called civilization—more accurately a cultural intervention—carried out by Spain during three centuries of conquest and colonization. A magnificent and scholarly work of supreme importance for understanding the past and present of Filipino culture."" -Clara Herrera, Guaraguao, issue 76, 2024
