About the book: "The Promise of the Nation, trailblazing in many respects, will be a yardstick for all other critical works to follow. Its virtue lies in its capacity to resist the onslaught of a scholarship that reads only the ‘nation’ and the ‘national’ from the vortex of a centralized political, economic, and cultural power. Irreverent and relevant, there is promise fulfilled in this work and the Ilokano people are richer because of its contribution to the critical production of knowledge in what we can now call 'Ilokano Studies.'" —Aurelio S. Agcaoili.
