Reviews for The Contested State. Transnational Alliances and Regime Transitions in the Philippines.
The Contested State is the best kind of history book: lucidly written, reads like a thriller, full of surprising (and shocking) revelations about a little-known side of American foreign policy. A real page-turner.
James Burke, author of The Day the Universe Changed A comprehensive historical survey of the Filipinos' struggle to obtain and assert their independence amidst external pressures from Spain and later from the United States.
Pilipinas
Amy Blitz has done a masterful job of reconstructing nearly a century of struggle by Filipinos to gain independence and build democratic political institutions. Placing its narrative in the historical context of Spanish and American colonial rule, The Contested State presents a gripping and well-documented account of U.S. policy-making during the Reagan administration as officials and congressmen sought to encourage the 'people power' revolution of Cory Aquino that finally consolidated democracy. This is a readable work for both policy makers and academics who would understand the dramatic striving for self-rule of America's only colony.
