The Shared Voice: Chanted and Spoken Narratives from the Philippines

by Grace Nono

The summation of over fifteen years of sustained interaction with Filipino oralists and personal practice of a number of Philippine oral traditions. It is the fruit of the journey toward self-understanding and meaning for those who may recognize their voices in this rich and diverse material. A book that echoes the life journeys and insights of ten Filipino oralists from different Philippine ethnolinguistic groups in Luzon and Mindanao; oralists who cut across lines of faith, gender, class, and generation.
