Editor
¿Qué condiciones sociales dan lugar al cambio político? Esta pregunta impulsó la inmersión de Paloma Polo en el movimiento revolucionario en Filipinas. Durante las últimas cinco décadas, las iniciativas dirigidas por las comunidades comunistas en Filipinas se han descuidado, censurado y, a menudo, reprimido violentamente debido a su voluntad de implementar modos de existencia sociopolíticos y culturales alternativos y su lucha para proteger sus tierras ancestrales. Estas comunidades están bien establecidas en las partes más pobres y remotas del país, donde luchan activamente por la emancipación, el bien común y la transformación democrática.
