Maybe a young silent movie star - Mary Pickford crossed with Lillian Gish. She was born Norma Louise Kuzma and took her last name from Jack Lord, star of "Hawaii Five-O." Lords was never a choir girl, but she now holds herself like a woman from a more innocent time. Men and women are shouting, "Traci, look at me! Traci, smile! This way, Traci, this way!"

Lo and behold when I read this book, it was not a narrative history at all it was but an ethnography of 16th century Philippines. I though that this book will narrate pre-colonial Philippine history in detail, and that it would supply the wanting native identity all of us long for. It was my interest in native Philippine heritage which roused my curiosity in this book. This book is the crown jewel of pre-colonial Philippine studies almost every work written on this subject uses this book as a source. Unfortunately, I was not that satisfied-but still it was a worthy read-so I am only giving it four stars. ![]() |
