New Books Network: Emotional Filipinos

In this episode of the New Books in Southeast Asian Studies Podcast, George Baylon Radics discusses his new book titled Emotional Filipinos: The American Myth of the "Lazy Native" and Islamic Separatism in the Philippines (University of Georgia Press, 2026). By unpacking the role of emotions from the American colonial period to the present, Emotional Filipinos blurs the line between American colonizer and Muslim-Filipino "terrorist," highlighting the lasting effects of America's footprint in Southeast Asia.

Dr. Radics will speak more about this book with NYSEAN on August 5, 2026. This episode was produced by NYSEAN Partner, the New Books Network.
