Bartolome Pasion was born in 1928 to a tenant family in a traditional hacienda in Pampanga province, Philippines. In 1942, at the age of fourteen, he joined the left-wing anti-Japanese guerrilla army, and later, the Communist Party of the Philippines (PKP) and its armed wing, the People’s Liberation Army (HMB). Pasion participated in the PKP-HMB-led rebellion of 1946-1950s, was captured, and jailed for nine years. After his release, he resumed his peasant organizing activities and later became a member of the PKP’s leading organs. From the seventies onward, he continued organizing his fellow peasants while networking with civil society groups and people’s movements. He died in July 2016.
What this study undertakes is the life history of ordinary people and the interplay and convergence between one individual’s life and the larger historical events taking place in society and how one impinges on the other. It follows a recent spate of works taking off from a “history from below” perspective. But as Reynaldo Ileto pointed out, this perspective also does away with models of behavior “built upon either/or oppositions” and instead uncovers “partial allegiances, guarded accommodations, shifting identities, and changing definitions of authority and salvation.”
Bart Pasion’s life history delves into the lives of those Eric Hobsbawm refers to as “uncommon people … who collectively, if not as individuals … are major historical actors … who make a difference.” Al McCoy adds that “close studies of ordinary lives and second-tier leaders … can illuminate areas now obscured within the vastness of the Philippine past, allowing us a fuller view of the process of change.”

We ship from two locations, Manila and New Jersey. Your books are always sent from wherever they are currently in stock.

We are happy to accommodate.

How can I reduce my shipping fee?
One important thing to know is that we do not make any profit on shipping. We simply charge what our couriers charge us. Because we ship in bulk, we often receive discounted rates, and we pass those savings directly on to you. Our goal is always to get your books to you as affordably and responsibly as possible.
If you are ever unsure which option to choose, or if timing matters for a specific order, please reach out. We're happy to help.
