Ateneo University Press, 2003 - Political Science - 466 pages
The early political careers of Manuel L. Quezon and Sergio Osmena are brought to light in the context of a changing colonial society. Cullinane shows how provincial politicos rose to national leadership in the midst of influential American officials and Manila-based ilustrados as they took advantage of the possibilities presented by the new colonial order.
