## About this book

Grassroots Globalization: Reforestation and Cultural Revitalization in the Philippine Cordilleras is a scholarly work within the social sciences that examines the impact of global forces on indigenous peoples. This first volume analyzes how globalization penetrates the remote mountains of the Philippines, specifically focusing on Ifugao Province. The text traces historical influences from the era of Spanish colonization to the modern trend of overseas migrant workers.

The book focuses on the village of Hapao and the reforestation and cultural revival efforts led by Lopez Nauyac. It further explores sustainable development through the lens of film director Kidlat Tahimik and his pursuit of authentic Filipino identity. By analyzing these grassroots movements, Grassroots Globalization provides a detailed perspective on how peripheral communities navigate and resist global pressures while maintaining their cultural heritage.
