Summary "A History of the Philippines" by David P. Barrows is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book serves as an introduction to the history of the Philippines, intended for high school students, and aims to deepen their understanding of their island country's past. It covers a broad range of topics, from the early inhabitants and cultures to the impacts of colonization and the political landscape of the Philippines. The opening of the text sets the stage for this exploration of Filipino history. The author discusses the necessity of presenting a history of the Philippines to its youth, emphasizing the need for an understanding of their cultural heritage and the context of their current place in the world. Barrows mentions the difficulties of sourcing historical materials and acknowledges contributions from notable local historians. He also hints at a comparative perspective, drawing parallels between the Philippines and Japan, suggesting the potential for growth and development rooted in education and historical awareness. The purpose of the book is framed as not just a recounting of events, but a guide to inspire further exploration and understanding of the Philippines’ evolving identity through its history.
