Given the scope and depth of his work, it is easy to see why San Juan is considered one of the authoritative voices in Philippine studies." --Multicultural Review "San Juan is a scholar of remarkable range and varied talents...remarkable for his commitment to literature and culture as vital areas of contemporary social life." --Fredrick Jameson, William Lane Professor of Comparative Literature, Duke University "San Juan's study is a tour de force of an extraordinary and comprehensive nature. His transdisciplinary approach is on the frontier of a new intellectual discourse, on the cutting edge of Third World scholarship." --Dr. Sam Noumoff, Director, Center for Developing Area Studies, McGill University, Montreal "E. San Juan, Jr. is undoubtedly the leading authority on Filipino-American literary relations... [He] deftly contextualizes literary forms and expressions within their historical and social matrix. In the growing field of multi-cultural studies, San Juan's contribution is quite unique--an immensely valuable contribution to U.S.-Filipino cultural history and comparative literature studies." --Bruce Franklin, Dana Professor of English and American Literature, Rutgers University "San Juan is one of the most authoritative practitioners of Third World culture writing in the United States today. His work charts in detail the vast and difficult terrain he has covered..." --Robert Dombroski, Professor of Italian and Comparative Literature, Graduate Center, City University of New York
