Selected Writings, 1968-1991 Volume 1 (1968-1972): Foundation for Resuming the Philippine Revolution
Description:
From the Editor's Note written by Julie de Lima:
“The title of this book, Foundation for Resuming the Philippine Revolution, alludes to the continuation of the unfinished Philippine revolution started by Andres Bonifacio in 1896 and further to the relaunching of the armed struggle by the old merger party of the Communist and Socialist parties but defeated by the reactionary Philippine state in the 1950-54 period.
The book contains the most important writings of Jose Maria Sison from the period of the reestablishment of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) in 1968 to the eve of the Marcos declaration of martial law in 1972. Included are the basic founding documents of the CPP and the New People’s Army (NPA) and the articles and statements issued by Amado Guerrero, nom de guerre of Jose Maria Sison, in his capacity as Chairman of the CPP Central Committee….
Excluded from the book are articles, messages and statements in Sison’s own name of which most were published in the second and later editions of Struggle for National Democracy; and in some periodicals and popular magazines. Also excluded is the major foundational book, Philippine Society and Revolution, for reasons stated in the preface; and so are more writings because we could either not find, or not avail of, them.”
