On Church, Consumerism, Migrants’ Idealization and Knowledge Economy in the Peripheries

This issue of Mabini Review gathers articles that converge in similarities and diverge in dissimilarities. All articles are bound by a single thread as they interrogate concrete social contexts— without going highly speculative that may baffle uninitiated readers. However, each article maintains distinctive voice in theoretical and methodological ways; and each intellectual investigation possesses uniqueness as authors elucidate, discuss and appraise concepts, praxis and milieus within their respective idiosyncrasies, academic orientations and styles.
