[eBook Launch] People Power, An Eyewitness History: The Philippine Revolution of 1986
The digital edition of the iconic book, People Power, An Eyewitness History: The Philippine Revolution of 1986, will be launched this February 27, 5:00 pm via Zoom and YouTube Live.
Edited by Monina A. Mercado, this photo book is comprised of statements by participants and observers of the nonviolent 'people power' revolution. Events are shown and described chronologically, beginning with Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino's return to Manila in August 1983, his assassination and funeral (the latter turning into the first major anti-Marcos demonstration), and ending with a photo of Corazon Aquino addressing an ecstatic throng. The 247 pictures collected here, many taken by amateurs, are alternately scary, touching, and inspiring. Included are shots of citizens guarding ballot boxes against government goons, crowds shielding reformist soldiers against loyalist task forces, and people attempting to disarm the Marcos troops with flowers.
Join us on February 27, 5:00 pm via Zoom and YouTube Live. Register here.
This event is organized by the Ateneo University Press, Ateneo Department of Interdisciplinary Studies, Ateneo School of Humanities, Ateneo School of Social Sciences, and the Ateneo Martial Law Museum.
