Indigenous Filipino "Pasyon" defying colonial Euro-reason

Article Abstract:

The 'Pasyon' became a lived text of insurgent effects, remarkably culling the content of peasant struggle that is so deeply a part of the Palestinian ambiance of the gospels but so completely buried by later pietistic perceptions of the hero. The Filipino indigenization initiatives are uncovering ways in which the languages and cultures of the neo-colony have continually done 'judo' on their own captivity in covert practices that are effectively construed as a continuation of paradoxical modes of subversion.

Slavery, servitude, and British representations of colonial North America

Article Abstract:

British literature, in the late-seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, viewed American colonies as a place filled with scoundrels or a place where the desperate would willingly go. The colonies were loathsome because of the exploitative labor systems, from indentured servitude and convict labor to chattel slavery and this image moved the Britons in the center of the empire against the slavery that abolitionists insisted nurtured moral conditions.
