Recognizing Apolinario Mabini

Recognizing Apolinario Mabini

by E. San Juan Jr.

This collection of essays by cultural critic E. SAN JUAN Jr. offers a timely critique of US imperialism, terrorism, and the ongoing Gaza genocide. The opening chapter on Apolinario Mabini symbolizes resistance to oppression, invoking the unfinished 1896-98 revolution and the need for grassroots historical consciousness against colonial and racial domination. San Juan examines the neocolonial Philippines, exposing the servility ingrained in labor-export policies, education, media, and cultural commodification. With the Marcos dynasty’s return and US military expansion, he warns of escalating conflicts against China, the Bangsamoro, and national-democratic movements, a theme revisited in the book’s final interview.
