This book is the translation of a dissertation in the field of English Literature at the Freie Universität Berlin. The approach of this book is to challenge the situation of the postcolonial theory as seen at the time of writing the book with five novels written by a Philippine author of national importance together forming the Rosales Saga. These five novels cover a period of hundred years of Philippine history, focusing on social, cultural and political matters in the context of family and social relations. Based on Epifanio San Juans stance "Philippine Reality vs. Postcolonial Theory", topics and motifs found in the novels are used to question and challenge the basic and general terms and concepts of postcolonial theory from Hybrity, Liminality, Race, Center und Periphery to Feminism and Class.
