From the back cover:
Gahum is a Cebuano word for power and hegemony in and through which Macapagal-Arroyo's "end game" may be read, analyzed and opposed as the word kontra (counter) designates. Macapagal-Arroyo's "end game" strategy against sectors and quarters that oppose her prolonged stay in power seeks to decisively defeat the "insurgents", especially the communists. But the spate of political killings of civilians and leaders of people's organizations has reached an alarming number of 744 since 2001, and this gives the term gahum its flavor as it is used in this book.
This volume focuses on the three major dimensions of the dialectical relationship between state repression and the people's movement. The state, in this context, creates a semblance of banality in the midst of its malevolent violence to which it subjects its critical citizens. Meanwhile, the people's movment, long engaged in counter-hegemonic praxiologies, strongly gains ground amidst the most barbaric and nervous conditions. Each chapter captures the ideas and sentiments of the authors into a thought-provoking and moving compilation that itself manifests the dialectics between the national democratic movement and the academe.
