268pp., hard bound with coloured dust jacket, with texts and numerous coloured illustrations. Out of print collector’s item. With Prints from the collections of the Gallery of Prints including the title page.
From ancient trade to modern industry, from vendors and outcasts in a separate enclave to taipans and pillars of mainstream society, the Chinese experience in the Philippines is a riveting saga of “fortune, misfortune, birth, death and rebirth”. With insightful texts and expressive photographs. Many of them rare and never before published. Tsinoy: The Story of the Chinese in the Philippine Life presents the sweeping tale of the Chinese immigrants to the Philippines.
Both history and adventure, chronicle and trivia, Tsinoy: The Story of the Chinese in the Philippine Life gives readers – whether Filipino, Chinese, Tsinoy or foreigner, whether scholar, student or the
plain curious – a comprehensive and fascinating look at how the Chinese of ancient times came
to be the Tsinoys of today.
