Love, Passion and Patriotism is an intimate account of the lives
and experiences of a renowned group of young Filipino patriots, the
men whose propaganda campaign was a catalyst for the country's
revolt against Spain.Jose Rizal, Marcelo H. del Pilar, Graciano
Lopez Jaena, and the brothers Juan and Antonio Luna, were talented
writers, artists and scientists who resided in Europe during the
1880s and 1890s. As expatriates, they were free from the social
constraints of their own society and eager to explore all that
Europe had to offer. Their studies exposed them to scientific
discourses on the body and novel categorisations of pathology and
disease, and they used this knowledge to challenge the religious
obscurantism and folk superstition they saw in their home
country.Life in Europe also radically reshaped their ideas of sex
and the sexual nature of Filipino women. In ""Love, Passion and
Patriotism"", Raquel A. G. Reyes uses the paintings, photographs,
political writings, novels and letters of the propagandistas to
show the moral contradictions inherent in their passionate
patriotism, and their struggle to come to terms with the relative
sexual freedom of European women, which they found both alluring
and sordid. Provoked by racism and allegations of effeminacy and
childishness, they asserted their manliness and urbanity through
fashionable European dress, careful grooming and refined
deportment, and they demonstrated their courage and virility
through fencing, pistol-shooting and dueling.This book will appeal
to scholars and to general readers interested in Southeast Asian
studies, the intellectual world of nineteeth-century Southeast
Asian expatriates, history of science and medicine, and the social
and cultural history of sexuality and gender.
