Reviews
Chronographies: Communal Worlds in Contracted Time is at once immensely prescient and supremely timely. With deeply erudite insight and fierce eloquence, Allan Isaac brings to light the intimate and irresolvable entanglement of time and vitality. This book trenchantly reminds us that the seemingly very contemporary experience of the experience of distance, isolation, and separation associated with the the globalized present, as well as the exigencies and modalities for offering care across distance, are longstanding conditions for diasporic -- specifically Filipina and Filipino -- subjects. This book provides luminous understanding of Philippine labor migrations and migrants as it crucially helps us historicize the present. -- Kandice Chuh, CUNY Graduate Center, author of The Difference Aesthetics Makes
