Brains of the Nation: Pedro Paterno, T.H. Pardo de Tavera, Isabelo de Los Reyes and the Production of Modern Knowledge by Resil B. Mojares

5.0

I feel like I've been saying this a lot over the past few months, but I think this is a book that everyone from the Philippines needs to read, perhaps above all others, even just for the sliver of a possibility that it emboldens one to emulate the luminary paths laid out by these figures eroded by history's harsh light, shadows that linger beneath the word "Filipino".
