Red Constantino’s book

The Foundation for Nationalist Studies (FNS) is launching the book of Renato Redentor Constantino, The Poverty of Memory: Essays on History and Empire on March 24, 2006 (Friday), 4:00 pm at the Balay Kalinaw, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City.

The Poverty of Memory deals with narratives of resistance and conquest, the exigencies of empire, the roots of global insecurity and the ecological impacts of imperial overreach. It draws on the contradictions that have increasingly defined our lives and takes aim at the certainties that have allowed others to hold sway over the affairs of pretty much everybody else.

The Poverty of Memory is about the consequences of abstention and forgetting, a combination that has never been as deadly as it is today. Above everything else, it is about remembering.
