Moros, Lumads, and Settlers across the Lowland-Highland Continuum
No longer sold new: look for it in a library, or for a used copy.
Mindanao’s three peoples and their politics as shaped by the land they hold, lowland, upland and coast, by a Filipino anthropologist.
Eric S. Casiño is a Filipino anthropologist who did long fieldwork among the Jama Mapun of Cagayan de Tawi-Tawi and other peoples of the southern Philippines. In this book he looks at Mindanao's 3 peoples, the Moros, the Lumads and the settlers, and at how their politics and statecraft relate to the land they hold, from the coast and lowlands to the highlands.
Notre Dame University in Cotabato City published it in 2000, with photographs, a bibliography and an index. Library records file it under the politics and government of the Cotabato region, Muslims in that region, and autonomy and independence movements in Mindanao.
