To Be Free by Edilberto Tiempo
In stock
To Be Free, Edilberto K. Tiempo’s classic novel about revolution, American conquest, and the Second World War, was first published in 1972 and has since enjoyed seven commercial print runs. To Be Free is an ambitious work that attempts to tell the entire history of revolutionary struggle in the Philippines, a feat that few Filipino novelists have tried to pull off within a single book. However, aside from being reviewed by Fr. Joseph Galdon in a 1973 Philippine Studies article and having a chapter anthologized in Gemino Abad’s Upon Our Own Ground: Philippine Short Stories in English, it has largely been ignored by critics in the Philippines. The fact that this novel attempts to paint a complete picture of revolution, while being unique in its contemplation of the liberating aspect of foreign (particularly American) conquest, makes it stand out among Philippine historical novels of note. Surprisingly, this novel has not become a point of interest for scholars of postcolonial Philippine Literature despite its particularly divergent take on Philippine history.
