Babaylan Sing Back: Philippine Shamans and Voice, Gender, and Place
Given the title of this book and its well-known author, one can definitely be forgiven for any initial trepidation when approaching it as a serious academic publication. The Philippine babaylan (shaman) has become rather politicized recently, as the practices of Indigenous minority communities, many of whom retain some shamanic practices, have been appropriated by mainstream Filipinos seeking to “decolonize” themselves and reconnect with ancestra…

Preserving ‘tradition’: The business of indigeneity in the modern Philippine context
What are the practical and cultural consequences of embracing the ‘Indigenous’ label? Despite universalising aspirations, the concept of indigeneity carries distinct political connotations in the Philippines, where the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act has created a bureaucracy that purportedly responds to the special needs of Indigenous Peoples, including the preservation of cultural traditions and securing title to ancestral lands. While laudatory…
Projecting order in the pericolonial Philippines: An anthropology of Catholicism beyond Catholics
In a majority Catholic country like the Philippines, it can be difficult to appreciate the true impact of Catholicism, beyond the obvious presence of Catholics. For the ‘unchristianised’ indigenous minorities in its peripheral upland regions, the role of the Catholic thought‐world in shaping who they are today is masked substantially by their cultural distinctiveness. Missionary‐dominated narratives in colonial historiography configure our unders…

Rivers of Memory and Oceans of Difference in the Lumad World of Mindanao
This article explores the relevance of water in the cultural traditions of indigenous Lumad peoples of Mindanao island in the southern Philippines. Historically, Lumad identities and networks (whether political, social, or economic) were conceptualised according to the rivers on which people dwelt. Important ties stretched from the coast to the interior (i.e., between upriver and downriver communities), with water providing the path of least resi…
Indigenous vs. native: Negotiating the place of Lumads in the Bangsamoro homeland
Two categories of ethnic minority – Moro and Lumad – are indigenous to the Philippine island of Mindanao, with Muslim Moros outnumbering largely animist Lumads. Both have been profoundly displaced by the post-World War II influx of Christian Filipino settlers from other islands, leading to armed conflict with the national government over land and political control. Due to their political and demographic inferiority to Moros, Lumads have regularly…
A Mountain of Difference: The Lumad in Early Colonial Mindanao
A Mountain of Difference recasts the early colonial encounter between the indigenous Lumad and Christian missionaries in the southern Philippines. This groundbreaking study of the Lumad-the non-Muslim native peoples of Mindanao-draws on Spanish archival sources and indigenous oral traditions to reconceptualize the political and cultural history of the island's upland minorities.While Lumad peoples are widely believed to have successfully resisted…
True Believers: Higaunon and Manobo Evangelical Protestant Conversion in Historical and Anthropological Perspective
This article discusses conversion to Evangelical Protestantism among the Higaunon and related Lumad groups, particularly the cultural and social reasons behind the surprising success of foreign Evangelical missionaries among the Higaunon, and its observable impacts. Special attention is given to the dominant themes of revitalization movements and the Ulaging epic that are shared by Lumad belonging to the Manobo language family. These dominant the…

Capital, Coercion, and Crime: Bossism in the Philippines, John T. Sidel
The Philippines, as a Third-World, post-colonial nation, has its share of fairly serious political, economic, and social problems. One of these is the prevalence of political dynasties and warlords who, in league with (or, one and the same as) the deplored “traditional politician,” can be found under virtually every electoral rock in the archipelago. Sidel opens Capital, Coercion, and Crime by explaining that “bosses” are “predatory power brokers…
Higaûnon Resistance and Ethnic Politics in Northern Mindanao 1
The root causes of armed aggression among Higaûnon people in northern Mindanao, Philippines, have changed over the centuries. Prior to the 20th century, its primary aim was raiding for slaves and for redress of personal grievances. At the turn of the 20th century, armed aggression became tied to the loss of ancestral lands, an issue which grew more acute as Mindanao became the target of government resettlement policies and economic ventures. In t…
