Talong Nikkeijin and Six Photos: Culture, People and State Power presents two novel ways of capturing the intimacy of contemporary Philippines-Japan relations. It uses photos and diaries of Nikkeijin. Its title violates the rules of proper communication in Philippine society: avoid code-switching could have been avoided, but good grammar was purposefully avoided and three languages were deliberately mixed to convey the richness and complexity of the intimate relationship. Contributors: Imelda Iwamoto Agama, Queenie Caranto, Marie Therese D. Chan, Sheena dela Cruz, Katherine Galang Lacson, Cheryl T. Lu, Stephanie T. Lim, Stacie L. Ong, Kimmee Rae C. Pineda, Giovanni B. Reyes, Tito Genova Valiente, Sylvia S. Okada-Yamada and Charles Anthony L. Yeung
