Yesterdays In The Philippines is a memoir written by Joseph Earle Stevens that chronicles his experiences living in the Philippines during the early 1900s. The book provides an intimate look into the author’s life as he recounts his personal experiences, observations, and interactions with the Filipino people, their customs, and their culture. Stevens was a young American teacher who arrived in the Philippines in 1901, just as the country was transitioning from Spanish to American rule. He spent several years teaching in various schools across the country, including in Manila, Cebu, and Iloilo. Throughout the book, Stevens shares his thoughts on the political situation in the Philippines, the impact of American colonialism on the country, and the challenges faced by the Filipino people as they adjusted to their new way of life. He also reflects on his own experiences as a foreigner living in a new and unfamiliar culture. The memoir is filled with vivid descriptions of the people, places, and events that shaped Stevens’ time in the Philippines. He writes about his travels around the country, the friendships he formed with local Filipinos, and the cultural practices he witnessed. Yesterdays In The Philippines provides a unique perspective on the history of the Philippines during the early 1900s. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about the country’s colonial past and the experiences of foreigners living in the Philippines during this time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
