About the book
How the Moro and Lumad peoples became minorities in their own homeland: the land laws, the resettlement programmes and the migration from Luzon and the Visayas, with the figures.
B. R. (Rudy) Rodil, a Mindanao historian, asks how the Moro and Lumad peoples, once the majority in Mindanao and Sulu, came to be minorities in their own homeland. He looks at colonial and Philippine land laws, government resettlement programmes and the large migration of settlers from Luzon and the Visayas, and gives the population figures.
The Alternate Forum for Research in Mindanao in Davao City first published the book in 1994, at 123 pages. A revised and longer edition of 174 pages followed in 2004. Both have a bibliography, and library records file the book under ethnic relations, government policy and the legal status of minorities.
