About the book
Majul’s short account of the Moro struggle of the 1970s and the rise of the Moro National Liberation Front, written for readers abroad.
Cesar Adib Majul's short book on the Muslim movement in the Philippines was published in 1985 by Mizan Press in Berkeley, California. It runs to 162 pages, with notes, a bibliography and an index.
A library record describes it as laying out the political, geographical and historical background needed to understand the movement, for both scholars and general readers. Majul was educated in the Philippines and at Cornell University and taught at the University of the Philippines for most of his career. A biographical profile notes that he played a part in the peace talks between the government and the Moro National Liberation Front.
