The Manila Review (Issue 5)

The Manila Review is a quarterly, non-profit publication that aims to map the ideas that shape public discussion in the Philippines. Through review essays of recent and outstanding works of nonfiction and fiction, film, and art, The Manila Review serves as a living record of changes in politics, the humanities, and the sciences, as well as the intersections of these fields. The Manila Review is a vehicle for interventions in public debates that require perspectives outside first world literary and academic circles, and seeks to situate the Philippines within global public cultures through cosmopolitan and comparative analysis.
