About the book
Tan’s later essays on the history and historiography of the Muslim South, collected at the end of his career.
This book collects selected essays by Samuel K. Tan, published by the University of the Philippines Press in 2010. The essays move from general questions about the Mindanao conflict to more specific ones, and keep returning to the central place of the Muslim South in the problem. The book runs to about 185 pages.
Tan was born in Siasi, Sulu, in 1933, of Chinese, Tausug and Sama parentage. He taught history at UP from 1963 to 1994, chaired its history department, directed UP's Mindanao Studies Program and later chaired the National Historical Commission. He wrote more than 20 books. A national historical society credited him with helping readers see the Muslim South as part of the national story.
