Vol 1. The Philippines A Past Revisited

by Renato Constantino

The Philippines: A Past Revisited (Vol. 1) by Renato Constantino is a critical reinterpretation of Philippine history, challenging colonial and neocolonial narratives. Written from a nationalist perspective, the book highlights the struggles of Filipinos against Spanish, American, and Japanese rule, emphasizing the people’s role in shaping their own destiny. Constantino deconstructs myths surrounding colonial benevolence, exposing how foreign domination and elite complicity have perpetuated inequality and dependency. By reexamining key historical events—from pre-colonial society to the Philippine Revolution and early American occupation—this volume serves as a call for national consciousness and a deeper understanding of the country’s unfinished revolution.
