Description
A Mountain of Difference: The Lumad in Early Colonial Mindanao By Oona Paredes This groundbreaking study reimagines the early colonial encounter between the indigenous Lumad and Christian missionaries in the southern Philippines. Drawing on Spanish archival sources and indigenous oral traditions, Paredes challenges prevailing narratives about the Lumad's resistance to Spanish colonization. Through a nuanced exploration of cross-cultural encounters and power dynamics, Paredes reveals how Catholic missions in Mindanao may have shaped the island's "upland" minorities. Vignettes of Lumad life prior to the nineteenth century show communities actively engaging colonial power, with unexpected results. This book complicates our understanding of Mindanao's history and ethnography, offering a new perspective on the marginalized Lumad peoples.
