The age of globalization

History is forged through the travel of ideas across continents—as well as by bombs. `The Age of Globalization’ (previously published as `Under Three Flags’) is an account of the unlikely connections that made up late nineteenth-century politics and culture, and in particular between militant anarchists in Europe and the Americas, and anti-imperialist uprisings in Cuba, China and Japan. Told through the complex intellectual interactions of two great Filipino writers—the political novelist José Rizal and the pioneering folklorist Isabelo de los Reyes.
