Abstract

The period between the independence of the Philippines in 1946 and the abolition of the official status of the Spanish language in the 1987 constitution represents a literary moment in which Philippine production in Spanish moves from being the national literature to being one more of the marginal literatures of a polyglot archipelago. In this article we try to interpret some keys that explain this process and, at the same time, to offer a unitary vision of phenomena and authors that highlight as “Silver Age” a complex period of the literary production of an Asian republic that had Spanish as one of its official languages.
