Moral Politics in the Philippines: Inequality, Democracy and the Urban Poor by Wataru Kusaka "Kusaka's Moral Politics could not have come at a better time. It offers a framework that sheds light on the polarized political landscape in the Philippines. Moral politics referes to the divide between the good 'us' and the evil 'them.' It informs the shifting realtionships within the 'dual public sphere,' which is composed of the civil sphere of middle-class Filipinos, and the mass sphere of the urban poor. The book explains how and why these relationships have shaped political developments in the Philippines from 1986 to 2010." - From the Foreword by Janus Nolasco
