About the book
What decolonisation meant for a people who did not see the republic as their own, and how a Filipino Muslim identity was argued over in the decades after independence.
Samuel K. Tan, a historian who chaired the Department of History at the University of the Philippines, looks at what decolonisation meant for Muslims in the Philippines. His subject is how a Filipino Muslim identity was argued over in the decades after independence, by a people many of whom did not see the republic as their own. The book was published in Quezon City in 1989 by the UP Department of History. Tan also wrote A History of the Philippines and other works on Philippine and Muslim history.
