The Philippines: A Past Revisited by Renato Constantino and Letizia Roxas Constantino, first published in 1975, has been described as “a landmark text in Philippine historiography”, one that “moves beyond colonial narratives” and “foregrounds the struggles of ordinary Filipinos.” Through its framing of history as “a usable past,” it continues to serve as a critical resource for understanding the present through the lens of the past.
Fifty years after its publication, A Past Revisited endures as a key reference in Philippine studies and a touchstone for critical engagement with the national past.
