520 _aIn Forcing the Pace (UP Press, 2007, a National Book Award finalist in 2008), Ken Fuller followed the progress of the Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas (PKP) from its foundation in 1930 to the defeat of the Huk Rebellion in the mid-1950s. In A Movement Devided, he continues the story until the fall of Ferdinand Marcos in 1986. The author traces the PKP's painstaking attempts to rebuild, its conclusion of political settlement with Marcos in 1974, and the development of the increasingly anti-imperialist stance which informed its approach to Marcos. The three congresses held by the PKP during this period are considered in detail, as are the two splits which occured-that leading to the formation of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) in 1968, and the "Marxist-Leninist Group" split in 1972. The current volume considers the CPP's "semifeudal" characterization of the mode of production, its approaches to religion and alliances, and its "protracted peoples' war". The book differs from most other studies on this subject, discussing the growth of Maoism in China and the manner of its introduction to the Philippines, and arguing that it is impossible to achieve an accurate view of the CPP's impact unless it is considered alongside the PKP and the developments in which that party was involved when the split occurred.
