Description

A Time to Rise is an intimate look into the workings of the KDP, the one revolutionary organization that emerged within the Filipino American community right through the politically turbulent 1970s and ’80s. Overcoming cultural and class differences, members of the KDP banded in combination in a single national organization to mobilize their community into civil rights and antiwar movements in america and within the fight for democracy and national liberation within the Philippines and in different places.

These personal accounts document recruitment, organizing, and training within the KDP. More than two-thirds of the stories are by women, reflecting the powerful role they played within the organization and its leadership. Also included are chapters at the struggle for justice for murdered KDP and union leaders Silme Domingo and Gene Viernes. These memoirs offer political insights and inspiring examples of private courage on the way to resonate as of late.
