Jose Rizal, Nationhood, and the Anticolonial Imagination

September 15 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm



How did the concept of the Philippines as a nation come to be?

Join us for the onsite launch of Dr. Filomeno V. Aguilar Jr.’s latest book, Jose Rizal, Nationhood, and the Anticolonial Imagination, published by the Ateneo de Manila University Press. Dr. Aguilar’s book sheds fresh light on Rizal and the ilustrados’ conceptualization of an independent nation and invites us to reflect on the meaning of nationhood, identity, and freedom today.
