Ang Paghiraya sa Bansa ni Don Belong: Pagsusuri ng mga Akda ni Isabelo de los Reyes sa Kanyang Yugto ng Transisyon (1897-1912). (Filipino)

The project aims to read and analyze the works written by Isabelo de los Reyes during the transition period from the Spanish to the American colonial era (1897-1912). It also retraces the period's socio-historical contexts and events to understand de los Reyes's imagination of the country and the Filipino community. This project highlights the unchartered chapters of the Ilocano polymath's life during the American era in the Philippines. There are four sections in this paper: 1) the West's notion of "nation" and the national culture of "bayan" in de los Reyes's land of birth, 2) some works of de los Reyes during the transition period, 3) prevalent themes and discourses from de los Reyes's works, and 4) conclusion. More than any other time, de los Reyes wrote during this period to forge insights that made his mark in history. In spite of the socio-political challenges he faced, the Ilocano polymath created opportunities to make possible what he dreamed for the Philippines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
