Inang Diyos Inang Bayan The Virgin Mary and Filipino Identity

Jamina's chapter in this book outliness the deployment of major Marian narratives at different stages in the Philippines' political development, with a special focus on how they impact, but are also claimed by, Filipinas.  She shows how Marian motherhood promotes but can also exclude Filipinas' empowerment in both public and private, with the latest iteration of these dynamics at play in the OFW phenomenon as well as the latest national elections.
