The book fuses English, Spanish, and Tagalog. It employs archival texts from as early as the 1500s when European conquistadors and explorers encountered the pre-colonial Philippine islands. Guided by the babaylan (shaman) and populated by mythical creatures like the mananneansal kapre, and sireno, the collection celebrates a history of resistance, reclaiming and redefining the self despite colonization, assimilation, and cultural loss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tia Chucha Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49354859544803,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781882688661-1.jpg?v=1788499797","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781882688661","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
