Book Description
With the death of his father, Sylvestre Carreon plans to rebel against everything his name stands for. He wants out of politics. Except that the incumbent President of the Philippines is hell-bent in crucifying him being the scion of the wealthiest political dynasty in the Republic. Sylvestre's only hope is to hide under the mantle of immunity--by becoming the next President. Burdened with a name synonymous with the words "traditional politician", Sylvestre needs to relaunch the Carreon brand if he wants to win. And bury a secret his family has been hiding his entire life. Once the most expensive whore in the history of Philippine advertising, Matias Fabula is now nothing but a washed-up metalhead who self-medicates with Valium chased by Jack Daniel's to silence the voices he is hearing. Voices that could keep his independent agency alive by helping him secure another client. When the agency lands its biggest account to date in the name of Sylvestre Carreon, Matias is faced with a dilemma he thought he would never have to face in all his years of making challenger brands become market leaders. As the election nears, Kristin Rustia, the head of the Communist Party, believes that one of the longest insurgency in the world should be brought to an end. That is, by starting a bloody revolution unlike the farce that is EDSA. But first she needs some funding so she can arm her comrades and surround the city from the countryside. Thankfully, revolutionary taxes are due from the presidential candidates. She can't wait to collect from the biggest spender of them all, Sylvestre Carreon. And settle an issue that made her the insurgent that she is. Subversivo, Inc. is a literary novel with an unexpected but welcome element of speculative fiction. Presenting a unique view of contemporary Philippine society, it is truly worthy of the Grand Prize in the 63rd Palanca Awards for Literature.

Book Description
Evangelicals have been scandalized by their association with Donald Trump, their megachurches summarily dismissed as “religious Walmarts.” In The Subversive Evangelical Peter Schuurman shows how a growing group of “reflexive evangelicals” use irony to critique their own tradition and distinguish themselves from the stereotype of right-wing evangelicalism. Entering the Meeting House – an Ontario-based Anabaptist megachurch – as a participant observer, Schuurman discovers that the marketing is clever and the venue (a rented movie theatre) is attractive to the more than five thousand weekly attendees. But the heart of the church is its charismatic leader, Bruxy Cavey, whose anti-religious teaching and ironic tattoos offer a fresh image for evangelicals. This charisma, Schuurman argues, is not just the power of one individual; it is a dramatic production in which Cavey, his staff, and attendees cooperate, cultivating an identity as an “irreligious” megachurch and providing followers with a more culturally acceptable way to practise their faith in a secular age. Going behind the scenes to small group meetings, church dance parties, and the homes of attendees to investigate what motivates these reflexive evangelicals, Schuurman reveals a playful and provocative counterculture that distances itself from prevailing stereotypes while still embracing a conservative Christian faith.

Book Description
A no-holds-barred assault on outdated teaching methods—with dramatic and practical proposals on how education can be made relevant to today's world. Praise for Teaching As a Subversive Activity “A healthy dose of Postman and Weingartner is a good thing: if they make even a dent in the pious . . . American classroom, the book will be worthwhile.”—New York Times Book Review “Teaching and knowledge are subversive in that they necessarily substitute awareness for guesswork, and knowledge for experience. Experience is no use in the world of Apollo 8. It is simply necessary to know. However, it is also necessary to know the effect of Apollo 8 in creating a new Global Theatre in which student and teacher alike are looking for roles. Postman and Weingartner make excellent theatrical producers in the new Global Theatre.”—Marshall McLuhan “It will take courage to read this book . . . but those who are asking honest questions—what’s wrong with the worlds in which we live, how do we build communication bridges cross the Generation Gap, what do they want from us?—these people will squirm in the discovery that the answers are really within themselves.”—Saturday Review “Neil Postman and Charles Weingartner go beyond the now-familiar indictments of American education to propose basic ways of liberating both teachers and students from becoming personnel rather than people . . . the authors have created what may become a primer of ‘the new education’ Their book is intended for anyone, teacher or not, who is concerned with sanity and survival in a world of precipitously rapid change, and it’s worth your reading.”—Playboy “This challenging, liberating book can unlock not only teachers but anyone for whom language and learning are not dead.”—Nat Hentoff
