Visayan Vignettes: Ethnographic Traces of a Philippine Island

"To read the book is to appreciate the highly contingent, provisional, oblique, open-ended way in which people try to make "sense" of another culture."-Resil B. Mojares, *Philippine Graphic* "This book is an interestingly complex ethnography that approaches the self-critical dialectical ethnography called for two decades ago....It is a welcome contribution to postmodernist theory and to the ethnography of the Visayas."-Ronald Provencher, *Journal of Asian Studies*
