“Seminarian-turned-red revolutionary Eddie L. Quitoriano’s Deeper Ground, Darker Shadows reads like a political thriller, with elements of the picaresque novel thrown in for good measure. This fascinating insider account offers valuable insights into the inter–Global South solidarity-building efforts of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army.”

A volume that wrote itself, Lanao Boy: A Life brings together the manuscripts left behind by poet-writer and civil servant Manuel E. Buenafe.

Manuel E. Buenafe (1916–1963) was a multi-faceted figure who lived at the intersection of Philippine history, public service, and letters. A prolific writer, his firsthand account, Wartime Philippines, remains a vital historical record. Whether collecting national data or writing evocative poetry and prose, Buenafe spent his life advocating for national progress and archiving the complex narratives of his homeland.
