Writings in Protest, 1972-1985 is a republication of the special "New Writing" 1985 issues of Ateneo de Manila's Philippine Studies journal. The collection covers writings in the years between the imposition of Martial Law and the People's Revolution at EDSA. In this decade, says the Introduction, "writers and artist found that they could not long divorce themselves from the historical process. the Ivory tower was becoming too cold and bare, with momentous events happening in the world outside appealing for their response and participation. Reports of the deaths of friends, of writers and artists engaged in the armed struggle in the countryside, set tremors of shock in the city. Just below the seemingly placid surface of urban life was the heightening conflict made acute by militarization and the violations of human rights." Protest therefore informs the collection. It is subject matter, context, and spirit.
