About the Book
Set in the Philippines during the Marcos regime, Dogeaters is a high-octane, multi-layered portrait of Manila. Hagedorn brilliantly weaves together a diverse cast of characters—from beauty queens and movie stars to activists and street kids—to explore the complex intersections of colonialism, pop culture, race, class, and identity.

It’s sharp, witty, political, and deeply human. It is exactly the kind of text that sparks the powerful, nuanced discussions we love to have here at RIA.

Why Join the RIA Book Group?
The RIA Book Group is a welcoming space dedicated to exploring how racialized identities shape our world, our literature, and our lived experiences. Whether you're a long-time member or this is your very first meeting, your voice and insights are welcome.
