A Time to Rise comes out at an opportune time as another fascist regime emerges in the Philippines. As in the past, former KDP activists have responded to the call to fight back. -- Boying Pimentel * Inquirer.net *


"""A Time to Rise comes out at an opportune time as another fascist regime emerges in the Philippines. As in the past, former KDP activists have responded to the call to fight back."" -- Boying Pimentel * Inquirer.net * ""This nearly 20-year project is a remarkable documentation of one of the leading revolutionary Asian American Movement organizations.... A Time to Rise provides much greater complexity to teaching and learning about both Filipino American and Asian American movement history.... More than lessons of the past, A Time to Rise illuminates the way forward to complete unfinished revolutions."" -- Tracy Lai * International Examiner * ""About much more than politics, this collection opens a window on the lives people lead when they set out to change the world.... Dedication, humor and simple good writing make this collection a worthwhile exposure of a piece of recent history."" -- Mike Wold * Real Change News *"
