v. 1. The history and development of social sciences in the Philippines / Virginia A. Miralao, editor -- v. 2. Enriching each other : the encounter of the social sciences and other branches of knowledge / Ledivina V. Carino, editor.

Focuses on the beginnings, growth and contributions of the different social science disciplines (i.e. anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, sociology, communication, demography, linguistics, public administration, social work, and statistics) in the Philippines. Notes that the Philippine social sciences which took root in the country under American tutelage at the turn of the century, have progressed beyond their colonial past and the partisan social activism that characterized much of the country's political, economic and social life in the subsequent period of decolonization. Cites the new challenges confronted by the Philippine social sciences and their practitioners.
