The Chinese Question:
Ethnicity, Region, and Nation in and beyond the Philippines
Quezon City, Kyoto and Singapore: Ateneo de Manila University Press, Kyoto University Press, NUS Press, 2014.

This book analyzes the changing meanings of Chineseness and Chinese identity in the Philippines as well as Southeast Asia more generally, and shows how these meanings have been shaped by colonial and post-colonial state policies, globalization and the economic rise of East Asia and China, and the historical patterns of cultural hybridization in the region.
