This book is an attempt to make sense of these different portrayals, not only of the president but also of the nation that is emerging alongside the rise of Dutertismo. Hundreds of think pieces have been written on this subject. Lots of heated discussions have been exchanged over Facebook. In an era of fast politics, there is the pressure to come up with quick commentaries before the next spectacle takes over our conversations. A Duterte Reader hopes to contribute to these conversations by taking a step back to carefully examine the social conditions and historical processes that shape the trajectory of Philippine democracy. To do this, a line-up of contributors was put together to provide a considered yet critical perspectives on a range of issues - from elite democracy to human rights to celebrity politics to online trolling. --Preface of the book
