It begins as the story of our ancestors, their differentiation into Muslims and non-Muslims, and then the division of the non-Muslims into Christians and non-Christians. It tells of their separation for centuries, and then of how the Natives, Chinese and Spanish mestizos, and even some full-blooded Spaniards born in Filipinas, united to form the Christian Filipino nation. It tells of the imperfect joining of Christians and Muslims during the American colonial regime, as distinguished from the vision of Rizal and Aguinaldo if a fraternal, all-archipelago union. The work on this story began as a quest for enlightenment on the nature and future of Filipino society and politics.' - Excerpts from the Back Cover.
