Resilience and the Brown Babe’s Burden - Writings by Filipina Philosophers

This volume examines the concept and practice of resilience from the perspective of Filipina philosophers. It investigates the double-edged nature of resilience and other key assumptions and ideas about human resilience and resilient cultures and institutions. The chapters in the collection are intersectional in approach, drawing from feminist theory, social and political philosophy, critical theory, pragmatism, virtue theory, social epistemology, and decolonial theory in their engagement of the theme.

Part of the Academics, Politics and Society in the Post-Covid World series, the book will be of interest to scholars and students of philosophy, political theory, feminist theory, philosophy of education, cultural studies, and development studies. It will be valuable to academics in Philippine Studies, Asian and Southeast Asian Studies, and Global South Studies.
