Glenn Anthony May
Glenn Anthony May is a professor of history at the University of Oregon. His area of study is Southeast Asian history, U.S. foreign relations, and recently, Chicano history. His main focus has been on the Philippines. May earned a PhD from Yale University, where he also studied as an undergraduate student.
May has authored a number of works on the Philippines, including:
- Inventing a Hero: The Posthumous Re-Creation of Andres Bonifacio (Wisconsin, 1996)[1]
- Battle for Batangas: A Philippine Province at War (Yale University Press, 1991)[2]
- A Past Recovered: Essays on Philippine History and Historiography (New Day, 1987)[3]
- Social Engineering in the Philippines: The Aims, Execution, and Impact of American Colonial Policy, 1900-1913 (Greenwood Press, 1980)[4]
May came under a surprising amount of harsh criticism for his work on historiography and Andres Bonifacio, a national hero of the Philippines. Ten years after its publication, Inventing a Hero: The Posthumous Re-Creation of Andres Bonifacio[5] is claimed by its publisher to be a strong seller in bookstores in the Philippines.[citation needed] This book has been criticised by a number of sources.[6] Another American historian, Malcolm Churchill described May's thesis as "astonishing allegation."[citation needed] He adds that May's long-standing interest in Andres Bonifacio [has] manifested itself more in efforts to cast doubt upon existing knowledge than to expand our understanding of this revolutionary hero.[citation needed]
Glenn May taught for a time at the University of the Philippines where he was a visiting scholar. He taught at the University of Oregon for over 24 years.
