Ateneo de Manila University Press On the Subject of the Nation: Filipino Writings from the Margins, 1981 to 2004
The volume examines the critical interfaces between the personal and political that frame the utopian visions of Bai Ren's fictional autobiography about the education of Filipino-Chinese sojourners; Robert Francis Garcia's firsthand account of the communist purges; Cesar Lacara's memoirs of a veteran revolutionary; Zelda Soriano's feminist narratives; Peter Bacho's novelistic dissection of Filipino-American identity crisis; and Rey Ventura's ethnography of illegal migrant workers in Japan. They illuminate the ongoing transformation and redefinition of the Philippine nation-state while highlighting the ways in which the individual and collective experiences, struggles, dreams, and aspirations of Filipinos serve to rethink and reinvent notions of belonging, sacrifice, learning, labor, and love that underpin the theory and practice of nation-making.

Their collective story is a long saga of courageous struggles and commitment to their cause, magnificent sacrifices, human weaknesses and failures, and unique accomplishments, which invested them with moral authority and charisma that have strengthened and nurtured their presence and influence through the decades.

Ateneo de Manila University Press Down from the Hill: Ateneo De Manila in the First Ten Years Under Martial Law, 1972-1982
The essays in this book, the first on Ateneo de Manila University during martial law, deal with the student movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and then with actions, conflicts, and unities within the school. Subsequent chapters cover student publications, organizations, and ideological involvements. Other sections of the book highlight the participation of faculty, administration, social development professionals, and the Jesuit community in university activism. The last chapter serves as an epilogue, linking the deepening social involvement of the Ateneo of the 1970s with the political struggles of the early 1980s.
