  1. 1. Pasyon And Revolution

    Popular Movements in the Philippines, 1840–1910

    This scholarly work reinterprets the Philippine Revolution by showing how popular religious culture — especially vernacular retellings of Christ’s passion, ritual practices, and millenarian expectations — provided ordinary people with a symbolic framework for understanding colonial oppression and for organizing resistance; through close readings of popular songs, oral traditions, pamphlets, and local events, it challenges elite-centered histories and recovers the cultural languages, messianic motifs, and grassroots networks that shaped insurgent action and collective imagination.
