INTRODUCING A NEW BOOK...
PHILIPPINE LEFT: POLITICAL CRISIS AND SOCIAL CHANGE
15 years ago the Philippine left was considered by many to be a major
political force. It played an important role in the movement against the
Marcos dictatorship and acted as an inspiration for a generation of
activists in the Asia Pacific region.
Yet by the early 1990s this movement was in crisis. Out of this crisis new
forces and currents have emerged that aim to rekindle the traditions of
resistance and struggle in the Philippines.
Now a new book has been published exploring the evolution, crisis and
renewal of the Philippine left and the social crisis of the Philippines.
Published by the Journal of Contemporary Asia, it is based on author Ben
Reid's doctoral thesis.
A must read for scholars and activists concerned with liberation struggles
in the Third World, a limited number are available for purchase.
