Myth, Identity, and the Colonial Experience.

Rosca, Ninotchka

World Englishes, v9 n2 p237-43 Sum 1990

The geographical, cultural, and linguistic diversity of the Philippines has strongly influenced the construction of self in Filipino literature. Filipino writers must formulate the fictional self in the midst of a tussle between the language of reality and the language of writing that is exacerbated by the country's colonial heritage. (JL)
