The Wily Filipino

Love! Sex! Communism!

Here's a plug for my good friend Jojo Abinales's forthcoming book, Love, Sex, and the Filipino Communist (or Hinggil sa Pagpipigil ng Panggigigil), coming out sometime this month from Anvil:

Love, Sex, and the Filipino Communist examines the CPP-NPA's guidelines on love and sex, and narrates some of the experiences by cadres and ex-cadres as they tried to deal with the regulations. It also explores the fraught relationship between Marxist-Leninism and "the woman question," and looks at the responses of Filipino feminists -- outside and inside the CPP -- to an orthodoxy that puts premium on class over gender and sexuality.
