Communal Intimacy and the Violence of Politics
This book explores the notoriously brutal Philippine war on drugs from below. The book examines how the war on drugs folded itself into communal and intimate spheres in one Manila neighborhood, Bagong Silang. Police killings have been regular occurrences since the birth of Bagong Silang. The book shows that although the drug war was introduced from the outside, it fit into and perpetuated already existing gendered and generational structures. In …

Furthermore, we argue that we cannot dissociate the killings from the rampant cor…
Policing Bagong Silang
Policing has always been intimately related to political processes and family relations in the Philippines. During the late American period and into Independence in 1945 after World War II, the main aim of policing was the assertion and preservation of the power of the landed elite. Besides the fact that policing is always a fundamentally political task, policing structures in Bagong Silang and elsewhere in the Philippines are also part of the po…
