Synopsis

An account of the unlikely connections that made up late nineteenth century politics and culture. The author pays particular attention to the links between militant anarchists in Europe and the Americas and the anti-Imperialist uprisings in Cuba, Japan and China. Told through the complex interaction between two great Filipino writers; Jose Rizal and Isabelo de los Reyes. Overall it shows just how global networks shaped the nationalist movements of the time.
