In the Wake of Terror inquires into the historical conditions and possibilities of radical change in the post-9/11 world of globalized capitalism. E. San Juan, Jr. focuses on numerous problems, including those of racism, class antagonisms, and subalternity in the United States. Global violence is also examined in relation to the anti-imperialist struggle of diverse communities in the Philippines. Analytic and critical,In the Wake of Terror is wide-ranging in scope and provocative in challenging orthodox opinions on the nature of neoliberal transnational domination and postmodernist multiculturalism. Its interdisciplinary, cross-cultural engagement with urgent contemporary issues aims to "disturb the peace" and usher in an interrogation of predatory hegemonic assumptions. Written from a historical materialist perspective, this work of cultural criticism is of interest to the academic or lay person.

E. San Juan is one of the world's most distinguished progressive critics. His book on Carlos Bulosan, among his numerous works, is one of the major documents in the development of Third World cultural criticism.
Bruce Franklin, Rutgers University
San Juan gives renewed expression of the extraordinary contributions made by Antonio Gramsci to our understanding of transformational agency and the role of culture within the international struggle against capitalist hegemony.
Samuel Noumoff, McGill University
E. San Juan is one of the sharpest and most clarifying voices vis-à-vis Filipino/U.S. and Filipino/world relationships extant. He is an internationalist and political analyst of high morale. It's about time his incisive theoretical summations are given broader access to strengthen the growing understanding of the multicultural united front of progressive thinkers around the world.
Amiri Baraka

E. San Juan's intervention in the current debates on cultural studies is both necessary and significant. We can all learn valuable lessons from the Philippine experience.
