Meaning & History: The Rizal Lectures, Revised Edition

Ocampo effectively uses... the art of storytelling to school his audience about scrutinizing public memory as a responsibiity of informed citizenship.... Ocampo cites a wide range of primary sources to show his readers how to interrogate the past and to familiarize them with the problems of periodization, interpretation, and use of different types of texts and artifacts. --- Sayuri Shimizu in the Journal of American History
