'Fantasy-Production establishes Neferti Tadiar as an astute, imaginative and theoretically sophisticated cultural critic of the Philippines and the Pacific. The book ranges in coverage from issues of popular culture to issues in the historiography of the Philippines. Tadiar is sensitive throughout to the dialectic between the global and the local; analysing the impact of global forces on Philippine society, while enriching our understanding of how the local permutations of global forces at a variety of levels may be crucial to any understanding not just of the Philippines but also of issues in Pacific and global studies.' – Arif Dirlik, Knight Professor of Social Science, Professor of History and Anthropology, University of Oregon
'Fantasy-Production is an important and much needed intervention in the growing debates regarding globalization and its vicissitudes especially in the so-called third world. It is of great value to those with a stake in grafting feminist critiques of modernization theory with postcolonial theories regarding the fate of the nation-state amid emergent conditions of the international (and gendered) divisions of labor. And it is a welcome addition to the growing body of critical area studies, offering theoretically informed analysis of an important area of Southeast Asia.' – Vicente L. Rafael, Professor of Communication, University of California, San Diego, and author of White Love and Other Events in Filipino History (Duke University Press, 2000)
'Given the dearth of works in the field of cultural studies that offer sustained theoretical engagements with — and not just descriptions or case studies of ─ contemporary socio-political and economic ""developments"" in the region, a book such as Fantasy-Production is not only timely and welcome, but exigent as well.' – Caroline Hau, Associate Professor, Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Kyoto University, author of Necessary Fictions: Philippine Literature and the Nation 1946–1980 (Ateneo de Manila University Press, 2000)
