Summary: Primed is more than a reminder of the dark night of the national soul. It is a battering ram pounding on the conscience of the race. It is more than a piece of barbed wire from EDSA encased in glass and kept at the end of a bookshelf gathering dust. It is the keening of a mother who lost her child during martial law but who never despairs of seeing him alive again. It is more than a rewinder that rolls back the worn-out images of a movie one has seen half a dozen times. It is a tour of hell itself. None of the subjects in this book, except for one or two, counts among the overloads of humankind. The count among the underlings. They are the wretched and the oppressed, the shadows you might pass along the furrows and alleyways of this furtive land and never see.
