Always Again: New Work from the Philippines and Philippine Diasporas

In Always Again: New Work from the Philippines and Philippine Diasporas, guest edited by Laurel Flores Fantauzzo, Mānoa brings together authors and visual artists in and of the Philippines and its many diasporas. The contemporary voices of the Philippines featured here pay special attention to themes specific to Philippine history and capture its cycles of historical pain and joyful resistance. Established creative practitioners join emerging writers and artists to form a powerful chorus that speaks to urgent concerns across generations and into the future.

With this collection, Mānoa brings you a living record of the historical forces and contemporary concerns that have shaped the Philippines and its diasporas. An archipelagic nation at the seam of Asia and the Pacific, of a continent and an ocean, the Philippines has long been a site of literary innovation and exchange. The works gathered here bravely and creatively testify to the enduring vibrancy of its literature and art, to their power and relevance far beyond the Philippines and its diasporas.
