The Planet as Homeland

Charlie Samuya Veric

Abstract

The review essay outlines the relationship between the planet and homeland as sites of unfreedom and freedom for Filipinos everywhere. Using E. San Juan’s new collection of poems, the review essay argues that the logic of translation is crucial to understanding the connection between the planet and homeland. To understand this connection is to imagine the future of Filipinos who share the fate of slaves, refugees, detainees, and immigrants across the planet.
