434 years ago the Lakans and Datus of Luzon were exposed for leading an epic pan-asian conspiracy (from Manila to Japan and the Sultante of Brunei) to overthrow the Spaniards and liberate the Philippines. This resulted in the gruesome execution of prominent Luzones Dátûs, including the kindhearted and benevolent Magat Salámat (son and heir of the great Lakandúlâ of Tondo). They were hanged, beheaded, and quartered, with their severed heads placed in cages for all the world to see!

Produktbeschreibung
434 years ago the Lakans and Datus of Luzon were exposed for leading an epic pan-asian conspiracy (from Manila to Japan and the Sultante of Brunei) to overthrow the Spaniards and liberate the Philippines. This resulted in the gruesome execution of prominent Luzones Dátûs, including the kindhearted and benevolent Magat Salámat (son and heir of the great Lakandúlâ of Tondo). They were hanged, beheaded, and quartered, with their severed heads placed in cages for all the world to see! "Tondo, Slavery, & the Revolt of the Lakans" vividly recounts the mind-blowing but often untold history of the "Tondo Conspiracy" a.k.a. the "Revolt of the Lakans" that almost liberated the Philippines over 300 years before the Katipunan Revolution of 1896. Learn more about the Laguna Copperplate, the oldest surviving document found in the Philippines that pushes back the official history of islands 621 years before the so-called "discovery" of the archipelago by Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. Explore the precolonial society of the Ancient Luzones, the ancestors of today's Kapampangan and Tagalog-speaking people. Find out why this epic conspiracy ended up an "epic fail!" This is the inaugural issue of "Know Our Roots," a series of books and zines with notes, doodles, and reflections about history, culture, and everything in between! The "Know Our Roots" book/zine series and the "Color Our Roots" coloring book series aims to help many in their path to decolonize and reconnect with our deeper roots.

Autorenporträt
I'm Kirby Pábalan-Táyag Aráullo. You might know me from my YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/kirbyaraullo), where I explore the interweaving narratives of Filipino history and culture. As a historian and culture bearer, I've spent nearly two decades teaching and reviving our indigenous scripts, Kulitan & Baybayin, shaping an understanding of our roots. Educated at UC Davis and Harvard, I've navigated the corridors of traditional politics and the dynamic pulse of grassroots activism. As a co-founder of the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies at UC Davis and author of "Black Lives & Brown Freedom," I'm committed to stitching together the fabric of our forgotten histories. While my ancestry links me to precolonial royalty, my heart beats for activism. Straddling the worlds of politics and grassroots advocacy, I strive to honor my heritage and empower our people through education and engagement. At my core, I am an artist, a scholar, and an activist dedicated to illuminating our past with the brushstrokes of knowledge and creativity. Joe Biel beautifully compares a Zine to a love letter, bound only by the author's imagination. My foray into Zine writing has transformed some works into books while maintaining the raw spirit of a Zine, fueling my passion projects like the "Know Our Roots" (books) and "Color Our Roots" (coloring books) series. These pieces are part of a larger quest to honor our heritage, reclaiming narratives once lost to colonial oversight. As I release "Notes & Doodles," my latest Zine series, I celebrate the evolving, imperfect process that mirrors our own growth as human beings. Expect the unexpected - errors and omissions included - as these musings may someday unfold into scholarly works. I welcome constructive criticism and look forward to building and engaging in a community where we can all learn from one another. In all sincerity, I wish you all peace! Dacal pung salámat!
