IN THIS ISSUE: - NOTE FROM THE EDITOR - PAPER: *From 'Baylan' to 'Bruha': Hispanic Impact on the Animist Priestess in the Philippines* by Carolyn Brewer - NEW TITLES: Review of Eva Steiner Moseley (ed.) *Women, Information, and the Future* (Enrica Garzilli) - COPYRIGHT NOTICE Abstract In the Philippines, at the time of the Spanish conquest, the Catholic priests were instructed by Bishop Salazar to learn and preach in the languages of the inhabitants. However, certain cluster of words, especially those involving Animist priestesses were altered, negated and then marginalised almost to extinction. This movement paralleled the demonisation and eventual disappearance of the priestesses from historical texts. The paper wants to: 1) describe the process involved in this double negation; 2) recover the forgotten words; 3) give Animist priestesses back their rightful place in Philippine history. * * * * * As already announced, the collected JSAWS 1995-1996 issues containing the Dowry and Bride-burning International Conferences' papers will be printed and distributed as books in about a month.
