ISBN: 9780199746408 出版年：2011 页码：245 Castro, Christi-Anne Oxford University Press

The first cultural history of the Philippines during the twentieth century, Musical Renderings of the Philippine Nation focuses on the relationships between music, performance, and ideologies of nation. Spanning the hundred years from the Filipino-American War to the 1998 Centennial celebration of the independence of the nation from Spain, the book has added emphasis on the period after World War II. Through both archival research and ethnographic fieldwork, author Christi-Anne Castro reveals how individuals and groups negotiate with and contest the power of the Philippine state to define the nation as a modern and hybrid entity within a global community.
