A COUNTRY OF OUR OWN
Partitioning the Philippines
by David C. Martinez

www.acountryofourown.com

"The best writing on the Philippines I've read in a very long time."—Dr. Michael Ashkenazi, Regents College, London
 
"Meticulously researched, coherently crafted, passsionately argued."—Carmen Miraflor, Stanford University, California
 
"Immensely stimulating."—Bro. Andrew Gonzalez, FSC, former Sec. of Education, RP
 
"Like Alexandr Solshenitsyn, David C. Martinez, writing with the grace of a poet, the acumen of a scholar, and the heart of a patriot, offers the reader two rewards—the unembroidered truth and the priceless gift of hope."—Joseph E. Fallon, author, "Deconstructing America"
 
"Certain to change crippling misconceptions of 'nation' and 'identity.' Destined to radically, justly, and permanently alter the political landscape of the Philippines."—Nilo Sarmiento, formerly of the Society of Jesus
 
"Courageously irreverent, scrupulously annotated, and richly rewarding. A must-read for all who wish to comprehend the 'Philippine phenomenon'."—Tim Harvey, Co-Founder, DILA [Defenders of the Indigenous Languages of the Archipelago]
