520 _a"These collected essays depart from the usual narrative of the revolution as a progressive event leading to the establishment of a republic. They depict how separation from "Mother Spain" was imaginatively construed, what it meant for the church-center to be displaced by the nation-state, and the limits imposed by the failure of agriculture and the intervention of the United States. They also explore the intersection of revolutionary history, popular consciousness, and political events from the early decades of U.S. rule to the 1998 centennial celebration." "The author engages both Filipino and American scholarship and, opens new lines of research on Australian and Japanese connections with Philippine anticolonial movements. Moving between historical issues and theoretical problems, he encourages the reader to take local and national narratives seriously, to see them as meaningful, mutable, and linked in often unexpected ways to transnational narratives and concerns." "The book addresses key issues in Philippine history and politics, but will be of interest, as well, to students of comparative history, cultural theory, and historiography."--Jacket.
