Reviews

"“Sony Corañez Bolton’s Crip Colony is a theoretically sophisticated contribution to the current surge in Filipinx American studies scholarship.” -- Martin Joseph Ponce * Society for U.S. Intellectual History * ""In this stunning theoretical and archival work, Sony Coráñez Bolton dives into the interstices of global colonial strategies and postcolonial projects by re-examining culturally significant Philippine images and narratives using the lenses of race, disability, and queerness. It is a monumental feat that begins with something small: a childhood memory of his mother using three languages— Spanish, English, and Tagalog—that lets him map out his own positionality as a mestizo Filipinx American professor of Spanish."" -- Anna Felicia C. Sanchez * Southeast Asian Studies * ""Crip Colony accomplishes and articulates a critical remapping of the Philippines and other spaces. Advocating for Filipinx and Latinx bodies to refuse disabling imperial diagnoses, this book contributes to postcolonial, disability, and Filipinx studies and will influence related fields for years to come."" -- Drew Trinidad * GLQ *"
