A legendary Filipino cultural studies classic that is notoriously hard to find in the United States, History of the Burgis delivers a sharp, self-aware reading of 500 years of Philippine history through the lens of class, power, and identity. First published in 1987, it asks a question that still resonates today: what role has the Filipino burgis played in the country’s struggles, successes, and unfinished nation-building?

Written by burgis for the burgis, the book breaks away from the traditional history format by combining a clear historical narrative with biting commentary, humor, and visual storytelling that pushes readers to locate themselves within the national story. Both critical and deeply reflective, it remains a cornerstone text for Philippine studies, cultural criticism, and diaspora readers building a serious Filipino history shelf.

A scarce title outside the Philippines and rarely stocked by U.S. retailers.
