Leny Strobel's A Book of Her Own: Words and Images to Honor the Babaylan |
|
 NewFilipina Inc. is proud to announce its participation in the production of:
Leny Strobel's A Book of Her Own: Words and Images to Honor the Babaylan is a
mosaic of poems, reflections, found texts, essays, and images that attempts to
answer the question: what do you do after you decolonize? Leny Strobel continues
her research and insight on the process of decolonization, which she first wrote
about in Coming Full Circle. In this book, she maps her journey and writes of
her unfolding realization that her life need not be overdetermined by dualisms
and ideologies; that it is possible to live a joy-filled and peaceful life while
always acting with others in the daily constant struggle to be human. She
acknowledges, with a great depth of gratitude, the revolutionary spirit and
wisdom of the Filipina Babaylan whose legacy continues to inspire today. That
spirit fills these pages.

Praise for A Book of Her Own
Leny Strobel’s latest work is a perfect follow up to her first book, Coming Full
Circle; together, they are a potent resource for students and scholars wishing
to delve into the psyche of Filipinos. Lyrically written and intellectually
disciplined, it offers a collection of inspired meditations and insightful
analyses of the Filipino-American mind-set.
----Danilo Begonia, Professor of Asian American Studies, San Francsico State
University
Leny Strobel asks: What does one do after decolonization? In this book she tells
her own journey towards finding her own answers. It is not a prescription but a
map that will resonate with many readers. This is an invaluable tool for high
school and college educators to use as an entrance to their students’ queries
about identity in a multicultural and multiperspective world.
----Oscar Penaranda, educator and author of Seasons by the Bay and Full Deck
Anyone wishing for a way (back) to one’s loob or inner self will find remarkable
inspiration from A Book of Her Own. Written in delightful prose and poetry
punctuated with heartwarming humor and poignant memories, Leny Strobel’s book of
meditations speaks of her courageous journey into--and out--of the depths of
Filipino postcolonial trauma. This is a must read for all wishing to learn to
laugh again and find deep joy in the aftermath of colonial wounding.
----Lily Mendoza, Assistant Professor, University of Denver, Colorado
This collection of essays, poems, narratives, quotations and images will excite
and give joy to readers as well as writers. It might frustrate the reader who
needs to catalogue and find a category for it. A Book of Her Own goes beyond
traditional, simple categories. It brings important parts of the author’s
life-physical, intellectual and spiritual-with laughter, tears, quiet
meditations, explicit discussions and debates with such skill and courage with
words and ideas that it will haunt readers for many years to come. And it will
hopefully move many of us to actively confront both the beauties and the sorrows
of the many worlds presented to us by Leny Mendoza Strobel.
----Roshni Rustomji-Kerns, author of The Braided Tongue and Encounters: People
of Asian Descent in the Americas.
There’s a saying: We’re all born poets and it’s the living that can leach the
poetry away. The world of academia certainly can be debilitating to the
world/work of the heart. With this collection, Leny M. Strobel shows herself to
be among the few who recovers the poetry that was originally hers -- and she
does so without sacrificing scholarship.
----Eileen Tabios, poet and author of I Take Thee English, For My Beloved
