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.

Let customers speak for us
from 127 reviewsGreat product!
Reading it as an adult versus when I was in high school, resonates so much more. It still pertains to what’s is going on today. The toxicity started by Spain and it’s friars still permeates.
Fantastic items and order fulfillment! Thank you so much!
Love Hot Tropiks!!
Beautiful illustrations, something that I'll reread multiple times. Josefina deserves a spot in my personal library.
Started reading it immediately. Love the illustrations. The research and love for the work produced is obvious. Grateful for this gem.
Hat fits perfectly. Want to build my own smaller scale báhay kúbo in the backyard. Salamat! 😊

I love this! I am so glad I found this company. It is a joy to learn more about my culture! Especially the mythology!
Unexpected and delightful counting 1 to 10 book. Would buy copies for friends!
Great condition, quality printing
Very short and sweet story about the importance of apologizing and forgiveness to teach very early on as well as teaching simple phrases and names for family members in Tagalog
Powerful storytelling with beautiful art. Very happy with the work of Ebony Soy and the delivery by Hot Tropiks. Also loved the additional content in the Hot Tropiks release!
