Millennial Contra/Dictions: Philippine and Philippine American Literary History

In conjunction with the exhibition Sheer Realities: A Celebration of Philippine Culture

In this emerging century, what role do Filipino and Filipino American writers in English play in the literary histories of both countries? Writers read from their works and discuss issues such as what is “foreign,” what is “indigenous,” and what directions do they envision in their own work and in the field? Authors include Gina Apostol, Luis Francia, Eric Gamalinda, Eugene Gloria, and Lusia A. Igloria.
