Taming People's Power: The EDSA Revolutions and their Contradictions

Lisandro E. Claudio

4.9/5 (29011 ratings)

Description:Taming People's Power analyzes the ways in which Filipinos commemorate and remember the bloodless People Power revolution of 1986. Drawing on archival research and fieldwork in various "sites of memory", Dr. Claudio unpacks the symbolic constellation he calls the "People Power narrative" - a narrative that continues to define present day nationalism and post-authoritarian politics in the Philippines. This narrative, however, is not homogenous; it is constantly in flux, constructed by various groups representing different subject-positions. It is also inevitably tied up with the "National Democratic" revolution of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), creating a "twinning" of two symbolic imaginaries. Prior to People Power, the CPP was the first line in the resistance against Marcos. The revolution, however, sidelined the Communists, thus EDSA not only weakened authoritarianism, but also Philippine communism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
