This new issue brings together an editor’s introduction by Michael D. Pante, three substantial articles on the wartime Philippines—examining Jose P. Laurel and the 1943 Assembly of the Greater East-Asiatic Nations, the remaking of Rizal in wartime propaganda and national identity, and the atrocities committed by the Oie Butai in Negros Oriental in 1944–1945—as well as a rich set of commentaries honoring the life and scholarship of anthropologist Raul Pertierra through reflections on his writings, influence, and legacy.
