Colonial The existing literature of the Philippine ethnic groups at the time of conquest and
conversion into Christianity was mainly oral, consisting of epics, legends, songs,
riddles, and proverbs.
Post-colonial e study of Filipino American literature offers a place for the frames of postcolonial
discourse and the literary efforts of the “hypenated” or “ethnic” American to
converge. This intersection offers a challenge to the putative need to separate these
endeavors on the basis of the United States’s seemingly shaky status as a colonial
power (prior to the American occupation, the Philippines spent three centuries
under Spanish rule). American annexation of the Philippines occurred after two
separate wars: the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Filipino-American War
(1899-1902). U.S colonial rule of the archipelago was loosened during the
Commonwealth Period of 1935-1946, a period after which the Philippines gained
its independence.
