About recovering a lost history and vision and an invitation to reread Rizal, rethink his project, and revision Philippine nationalism. It traces the trajectory of the Philippine nationalist movement from its inception in the late 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, the national hero.
