Description
Winner of the Philippine National Book Award, this pioneering volume reveals how the power of the rustic’s circle of relatives-based oligarchy both derives from and contributes to a weak Philippine state. From provincial warlords to up to date managers, prominent Filipino leaders have fused circle of relatives, politics, and business to compromise public institutions and amass private wealth—a historic pattern that persists to the current day.
Edited by Alfred W. McCoy, An Anarchy of Families explores the pervasive influence of the up to date dynasties that have led the Philippines right through the past century. Exemplified by the Osmeñas and Lopezes, elite Filipino families have formed a powerful oligarchy—controlling capital, dominating national politics, and steadily owning the media. Beyond Manila, strong men such as Ramon Durano, Ali Dimaporo, and Justiniano Montano have used “guns, goons, and gold” to amass wealth and power in far-flung islands and provinces. In a new preface for this revised edition, the editor shows how this pattern of oligarchic keep watch over has continued into the twenty-first century, regardless of dramatic socio-economic change that has supplanted the classic “three g’s” of Philippine politics with the up to date “four c’s”—continuity, Chinese, criminality, and celebrity.
