Summary
"Pasyon and Revolution, unlike earlier Philippine historical writings that use largely the Filipino educated elite’s categories of meaning, seeks to interpret Philippine popular movements in terms of perceptions of the masses themselves. Ileto submits to varied kinds of analyses standard documents as well as such previously ignored sources as folk songs, poems, and religious traditions, in order to articulate hidden or suppressed features of the thinking of the masses. Paramount among the conclusions of the book is that the pasyon, or native account of Christ’s life, death and resurrection, provided the cultural framework of movements for change. The book places the Philippine revolution in the context of native traditions, and explains the persistence of radial peasant brotherhoods in this century. Seen as continuous attempts by the masses to transform the world in their terms are the various movements that the book analyzes – Apolinario de la Cruz’s Cofradia de San Jose, Andres Bonifacio’s Katipunan, Macario Sakay’s Katipunan, Felipe Salvador’s Santa Iglesia, the Colorum Society, and other popular movements during the Spanish, revolutionary, and American colonial periods." -- Provided by the publisher.
