Read an excerpt from the first chapter to ASIAN PLACE, FILIPINO NATION: A GLOBAL INTELLECTUAL HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINE REVOLUTION, 1887–1912, by Nicole CuUnjieng Aboitiz. In this work CuUnjieng Aboitiz reconnects the Philippine Revolution to the histories of Southeast and East Asia through an innovative consideration of its transnational political setting and regional intellectual foundations. She charts turn-of-the-twentieth-century Filipino thinkers’ and revolutionaries’ political organizing and proto-national thought.
