Slim: Salvacion Lim Higgins
By Mark Lewis Higgins and Sandra Louise Higgins

In conceptualizing Slim: Salvacion Lim Higgins, the publishers’ vision was resolute: to document her body of work in a manner that would evoke the progressive disposition in which it was originally envisioned, communicating with new and future generations. Slim’s designs were to speak for themselves, tempered by neither perfunctory praise nor false modesty. While the book, as a whole, would be greater than the sum of its parts, the creative collaboration nonetheless would be crucial to its outcome.

Myth, Mimesis, and Magic in the Music of the T’Boli, Philippines
Manolete Mora

Why is musical mimesis so much a part of the cultural world of indigenous Filipinos? What does it tell us about their musical sensibilities and their social world? This book addresses these issues through a study of the relations between musical poetics, myth, and magic in the musical and spiritual lives of T’boli men and women from the highlands of southwestern Mindanao. Manolete Mora’s study shows that musical mimesis is an intrinsic part of the cultural process of interpreting, articulating, making, and remaking the world. More significantly, it suggests that musical mimesis is intimately linked to a moral universe that is grounded in reciprocity. Musical mimesis is a way of establishing contact, fusion, and identity with the “other,” and this is possible because of the existence of concepts of knowledge and being that are fundamentally different from our own. This book embraces wide-ranging ethnographic materials and issues that will be of interest to the musicologist, anthropologist, and student of Southeast Asian folklore and cross-cultural aesthetics.

Looking Back
By Ambeth Ocampo

Hindsight is the lowest form of intelligence—except for historians. History is the collective memory of a nation, but it has to be constantly rewritten. It is the historian’s interpretation of, more often than not, questionable facts.

A true historian must first get his facts from primary sources; second, be objective; third, be interesting. Ambeth Ocampo’s historical writings meet these three criteria. He is the historian to watch.

Reportage on Crime
Thirteen Horror Happenings That Hit the Headlines
By Quijano de Manila

The thirteen narratives in this anthology of true crime stories transcend journalism by attempting analyses of character, motive, period, and ambiance. What emerges is the picture of a fascinating decade: the 1960s.

Quijano de Manila is the other name that National Artist for Literature Nick Joaquin made famous during a journalistic career in which he ranged from police beat to disaster coverage, and from news profiles to political punditry, in a style that could be mockingly stark but always respected the reporting of the fact.
