Jose Maria Sison Books

On Neoliberal Globalization consists of Jose Maria Sison's writings (articles, speeches, statements, messages and interviews) on the subject from 1972 (before the formal adoption of the neoliberal policy regime) to 2021. They reveal how the policy of neoliberal globalization rationalize the unmitigated greed of the monopoly capitalists. The adoption of neoliberal economy policy has brought imperialist countries to the worst economic and social crisis since the Great Depression. This crisis is becoming worse. And the imperialist powers and the business magnates cannot solve it because they cling dogmatically to the policy that has brought it about in the first place. At the root of the crisis is the internal law of motion of capitalism that drives the owners of capital to maximize their profits and further accumulate capital by minimizing the wages of the workers.

The collection features poems inspired by the revolutionary struggle of the Filipino people, blending natural imagery with lyrical expression. It includes selections from Sison's acclaimed "Prison and Beyond," alongside new works that explore themes of national and social liberation, as well as exile. Additionally, the book includes articles by creative writers discussing the significance of Sison's poetry. This publication aims to highlight the role of culture in the national democratic struggle in the Philippines, reflecting Sison's extensive guerrilla experience and literary achievements.
