- Abstract：
Teodoro Agoncillo’s classic monograph, The Revolt of the Masses: The Story
of Andres Bonifacio and the Katipunan was written in 1948 but published
only in 1956. In this talk, I try to draw out the book’s connection with
the cultural campaign during the Japanese occupation, the political turmoil
that followed “Liberation” and the granting of independence, and the Cold
War and its manifestation in the Huk rebellion and its suppression. The
book’s timely appearance is linked to the importance placed by national
leaders and political activists on “unfinished revolution” as a primary
trope in electoral campaigns, nation-building projects, and mass mobilization
in the 1950s. Significantly, the book was published on the same year that
a heated public debate was raging over a Senate bill to require the reading
of Rizal’s novel’s in all schools. The talk winds up with personal reflections
on the influence of Revolt of the Masses in the making of Pasyon and Revolution,
and the reasons why I am taking a second look at Revolt today.
