About the book
Moro voices on the conflict and what peace would take, gathered for the Asian Institute of Management by a Tausug former cabinet member.
This book gathers research papers and speeches by Muslim political and religious leaders, scholars and former rebels. They came out of a year-long study and a series of conferences and workshops at the Asian Institute of Management. It was edited by Amina Rasul, then a research fellow of the AIM Policy Center and a former presidential adviser on youth affairs. Former president Fidel Ramos wrote the foreword.
The papers look at instability and poverty in Mindanao, and at how to balance secular and religious political demands. The book also sets out the participants' recommendations, to help policy makers and programme staff find ways to end the conflict.
One main recommendation is a referendum among Muslims to choose between independence, greater autonomy or federalism. In her preface Rasul writes that "Muslims must be allowed to live according to their beliefs and principles".
