[Review of] Elsa V. Goveia, A Study on the Historiography of the British West Indies, to the End of the Nineteenth Century

This is an extremely learned work. Published originally by the Pan American Institute of History and Geography in 1956 and recently reprinted in paperback by Howard Press, A Study on the Historiography of the British West Indies discusses almost seventy-five, often multi-volume works published between 1530 and 1898.

Jose Rizal and the Changing Nature of Filipino Identity in an American Setting

Les célébrations commémoratives que les Philippins de Chicago organisent en l'honneur de leur héros national n'ont cessé de se transformer. Ce lieu de fête a été affecté non seulement par les relations entre l'île et les Etats-Unis, mais aussi par les divisions nombreuses qui sont apparues au sein de la communauté. Dans les débats qui accompagnent la modernisation de la fête se retrouvent les dissensions que crée une double appartenance opposant les défenseurs de l'américanisation à ceux qui veulent rester fidèles à l'identité nationale philippine.Guyotte Roland L., Posadas Barbara M.
