“Democrats who puzzle over the resilience of a positive popular memory of the dark years of the Marcos regime and who struggle to get more Filipinos to move to their side of the barricades need to read this book. Not only is this volume the first comprehensive attempt to explain the power of political memory in shaping how we remember the recent past, but it is also a glimpse into the exceptional works of a younger generation of scholars who love and worry about where we are heading as a people.” -- Patricio N. Abinales, co-editor, The Marcos Era Reader (2022) and author of Presidents and Pests, Cosmopolitans and Communists (2023). “This remarkable collection of essays by a new generation of Philippine scholars underlines how the past is always alive as an arena of contention by analyzing one of the most amazing feats of historical reconstruction in recent memory: the rehabilitation of the Marcoses.” -- Walden Bello, author of Global Battlefields: My Close Encounters with Dictatorship, Capital, Empire, and Love (2025) “I am happy to see how the volume testifies to the growth of Memory Studies in the Philippines ever since the field’s institutionalization as a course in 2012, and how memory concepts still provide theoretical tools to unpack Martial Law.” -- Jocelyn S. Martin, Advisory Board, Memory Studies Association
