Revolt of the Masses: The Story of Bonifacio and the Katipunan by Teodoro
Agoncillo
I think that the revolutionary society provides the ideal context for understanding
and appreciating Bonifacio. He could not have surpassed the Katipunan in strength.
He couldn't have overcome it either. Understanding the Katipunan is important for
understanding him. Because of society, he looks great. Therefore, he must be
visible inside and outside of the Katipunan. Even in the late 1940s, history written
from a colonial perspective was the target of Agoncillo's historical salvoes. The
Japanese model of (and backing for, during the occupation) an independent history
of "oriental" culture most likely had an impact on Agoncillo. However, he believed
that from the perspective of the remaining records alone, "Filipinist" historians
faced a dim future. If pre-1872 texts were written by Spaniards in Spanish, how
could there be a truly Filipino perspective on history? Significantly, Independence
in 1943 was also portrayed as the pinnacle of Bonifacio's armed fight in light of
Agoncillo's later works. When discussing the Revolution, Agoncillo frequently
blends the past and the present, at least at this point in his writing career. By
including The Newspaperman in the genealogy of Kalayaan, Agoncillo's essay—a
passage from The Revolt of the Masses—clearly intended to lend historical
validity to the publication.
