Ilustrado Politics: Filipino Elite Responses to American Rule
by Michael Cullinane
Publisher: Ateneo de Manila University Press
Year published: 2005
Specification: Paperback, 6 x 9 inches, 480 pages
ISBN: 971-550-439-6

The early political careers of Manuel L. Quezon and Sergio Osmeña are brought to light in the context of the changing colonial society by Michael Cullinane in ILUSTRADO POLITICS: Filipino Elite Responses to American Rule, 1898-1908. Through years of research work, Cullinane shows how provincial politicos rose to national leadership in the midst of influential American officials and Manila-based ilustrados as they took advantage of the possibilities presented by the new colonial order.

Michael Cullinane is the associate director of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he also teaches Southeast Asian History. He completed his doctoral degree at the University of Michigan, and has been conducting research and publishing on Philippine history since the early 1970s. He has taught history and political science at the University of San Carlos in Cebu City and at De La Salle University in Manila.
