| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - A fictionalized account of one Filipino family's experiences during the Japanese occupation, echoing Philippine traditions and history. The author, a Filipino-American, heard her father's stories about the war and was inspired to write about the period. She focuses on three members of the family: a teenage brother and sister, and a guerrilla, bringing out a story of faith, hope, resilience and courage. The title is taken from a saying, "When the elephants dance it is unsafe for the chickens," with the great powers being the elephants, and small countries like the Philippines being the chickens. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
