They
say about At Home in the World:
What
comes through is a remarkable portrait of the revolutionary, steeled by
relentless struggle, suffering in prison, and faith in the ultimate
positive outcome of the national democratic and socialist revolution.
– Prof. Elmer A. Ordońez, Sunday Times Magazine
The Other
View, Aug. 15, 2004
The
book is written in the midst of the struggle of peoples to liberate
themselves from oppression. It is not a book written by an academic
watching the turmoil of the world, perched on his pedestal, or by a paid
analyst to please some vested interests, but by individuals locked in
deadly battle with the scourge of humanity - U.S. imperialism. It is not
an epilogue to Joema’s life, or his memoirs as those who impact on
history often write about their lives.
– Prof. Edberto Malvar Villegas
This
political biography of Prof. Jose Maria Sison is thought-provoking and a
necessary read for Filipinos and other people interested in current
affairs…Professor Sison is a long-time advocate of justice and human
rights. His patriotic and progressive motivations, experience and views,
as unfolded by the book, are enlightening.
– Former Sen. Loren Legarda
Those
of us who are working to stop the unbridled aggression against the world
that has been unleashed by the by the Bush White House should make every
effort to defend Prof. Jose Maria Sison, and to support the Filipino
people as they struggle to defend sovereignty and build peace. –
Ramsey Clark, former U.S. Attorney General
After
years of living and writing in New York, Ninotchka Rosca reveals herself
– in her own way – as being also “at home in the world” by the
sharpness of her inquiries that bring out the gems in Sison’s political
convictions. This makes At Home in the World not only a collaborative but
also a perfect collective work in the best revolutionary tradition.
– Bobby Tuazon
This
is the chronicle of a man who was banished from the country of his birth
and branded a “terrorist” because he refused to accept its condition
as a land enslaved; but who never lifted his feet from his native land
even as he is bound to the refugee’s life abroad, and refuses to be
cowed by those who seek to terrorize him by calling him a “terrorist.”
– Alexander Martin Remollino, Bulatlat
