The Nation as Project: A New Reading of Jose Rizal’s Life and Works aims to be a comprehensive resource giving teachers the materials and information they need on the life and works of Jose Rizal and allows them to pick and choose depending on which aspect of Rizal they mean to focus on in their teachings throughout the course. From poetry, essays, books, and even Rizal’s iconic Noli and Fili, to a timeline of the most significant events of his life, The Nation as Project provides the essentials as well as commentaries on these events and pieces.
The book surmises the entire undergraduate Rizal course in a nutshell. Though this is marketed as a textbook, this book refreshes our memories of Rizal not as edified statue in Luneta, but as living breathing nation builder.
