About recovering a lost history and vision, an invitation to re-think his project, and revision Philippine nationalism. Traces the trajectory of the nationalist movement from its inception in the early years of the nineteenth century to its deformation and co-optation by U.S. imperialism in the early years of the twentieth century-through a genealogy of the rise and fall of the symbol of Rizal. Reconstructs Rizal's vision of the nation, a moral vision that was appreciated by kindred spirits in the so-called Propaganda Movement as well as the revolutionary spirit of 1896-the moral vision that constitutes what is most crucial and cogent in Rizal's lifeworks, in today's era of genocidal assertions of national sovereignty and predatory, corporate-driven globalization (BIP-ADMUP).
