A History of the Philippines
Author: Renato ConstantinoPublisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0853453942
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 483
Book Description
Unlike other conventional histories, the unifying thread of A History of the Philippines is the struggle of the peoples themselves against various forms of oppression, from Spanish conquest and colonization to U.S. imperialism. Constantino provides a penetrating analysis of the productive relations and class structure in the Philippines, and how these have shaped―and been shaped by―the role of the Filipino people in the making of their own history. Additionally, he challenges the dominant views of Spanish and U.S. historians by exposing the myths and prejudices propagated in their work, and, in doing so, makes a major breakthrough toward intellectual decolonization. This book is an indispensible key to the history of conquest and resistance in the Philippine.
Son of a Businessman: Jose Rizal and His Mismanagement of Fifth-Generation Filipino-Chinese Wealth
Author: Mala LimPublisher:
ISBN: 9781477520796
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
The Philippines's national hero is shed and Jose is seen as a successor of a business family. The book begins with the roots of the family's wealth created over five generations. Then it presents an unique historical interpretation by setting aside the Philippine government-created and mandated markets for studies on Rizal. His family's background is also compared with other prominent Philippine business families of the past and the present, putting Rizal's life and times on the premise of global economics and world history. Overwhelming factual and academic evidence shows that the Paciano and Jose episode was nothing but a failed business succession of fifth generation scions. This book also raises the issues of how Rizal's famous novels have become, in the context of business, economics, democracy and capitalism, myopic visions of a dreamer of fiction typically detached from economic realities.

Veneration and Revolt
Author: Barry StephensonPublisher: Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press
ISBN: 1554581753
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
One of the most widely read German authors in the world, Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946. After his death, his novels enjoyed a revival of popularity, becoming a staple of popular religion and spirituality in Europe and North America. Veneration and Revolt: Hermann Hesse and Swabian Pietism is the first comprehensive study of the impact of German Pietism (the religion of Hesse’s family and native Swabia) on Hesse’s life and literature. Hesse’s literature bears witness to a lifelong conversation with his religious heritage despite that in adolescence he rejected his family’s expectation that he become a theologian, cleric, and missionary. Hesse’s Pietist upbringing and broader Swabian heritage contributed to his moral and political views, his pacifism and internationalism, the confessional and autobiographical style of his literature, his romantic mysticism, his suspicion of bourgeois culture, his ecumenical outlook, and, in an era scarred by two world wars, his hopes for the future. Veneration and Revolt offers a unique perspective on the life and works of one of the twentieth century’s most influential writers.
On First Principles
Author: OrigenPublisher: Ave Maria Press
ISBN: 0870612808
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
Origen’s On First Principles is a foundational work in the development of Christian thought and doctrine: it is the first attempt in history at a systematic Christian theology. For over a decade it has been out of print with only expensive used copies available; now it is available at an affordable price and in a more accessible format. On First Principles is the most important surviving text written by third-century Church father, Origen. Origen wrote in a time when fundamental doctrines had not yet been fully articulated by the Church, and contributed to the very formation of Christianity. Readers see Origen grappling with the mysteries of salvation and brainstorming how they can be understood. This edition presents G. W. Butterworth’s trusted translation in a new, more readable format, retains the introduction by Henri de Lubac, and includes a new foreword by John C. Cavadini. As St. Gregory of Nazianzus, Doctor of the Church, wrote: “Origen is the stone on which all of us were sharpened.”
