"Culture has so come to mean its loftier dicta (like literature and the arts) that we have needed a Marshall McLuhan to remind us that the medium itself is the message. And the message is: metamorphosis. We are being shaped by the tools we shape; and culture is the way of life being impressed on a community by its technics."

If one were to read only one book about the Philippines, it will have to be Culture and History by Nick Joaquin.
A ground-breaking treatise by National Artist for Literature Nick Joaquin on how Philippine history and Filipino identity have been shaped by the tools of our native and adopted cultures. Learn about feminism and beaterios, and the evolution from bamboo houses to stone churches. Come to understand why culture is history, and history is culture.

"...we are not quite conscious of the reason for our disdain when we refer to the illiterate past as wallowing in ignorance.... What divides us from them is the column of print. Theirs was a total culture involving all the senses, while ours is a culture concentrated in the literate eye."
