Recognizing Apolinario Mabini: Inquiries into the Struggle for Justice and Sovereignty by E. San Juan Jr.
In stock
This gathering of recent essays by cultural critic-scholar E. San Juan Jr. represents a timely intervention in the global crisis of US imperialist hegemony and the advent of a multipolar world. It straddles the gap between the 9/11 “war on terrorism” and the ongoing Gaza genocide. The opening chapter remembering Apolinario Mabini is a symbolic gesture of refusing the present oppressive, unjust status quo. It signals a move to recover the primal scene of the 1896–98 “unfinished” revolution and the resistance to US aggression.
In other chapters, San Juan explores the morbid symptoms of servility plaguing the neocolony's labor-export policy and educational system. Such ideological apparatuses as schools, the patriarchal family, media, and the pervasive commodification of cultural practices and institutions have contributed to legitimizing/mystifying the US-funded violence of oligarchic rule. With the return of the Marcos dynasty and its feudal/comprador entourage, we are confronted with the expansion of US military logistics and troops geared for an all-out war against China, the Bangsamoro people, and the resurgent national-democratic spirit of various communities in the islands and in the diaspora, a theme rehearsed in the interview with the author in the concluding chapter.
