About the book
Essays on Islam as it is lived in the Philippines, collected and edited by Peter Gowing.
This collection of essays on Islam and Muslims in the Philippines was edited by Peter G. Gowing and published by New Day Publishers in Quezon City in 1988.
It is in 3 parts. The first, on Islam, covers Islam in a society of many religions, relations between church and mosque, the history of Islam in Southeast Asia, and the early contacts of Mindanao and Sulu with the outside world. The second, on Muslim Filipino ethnology, has an essay on the anthropology of Christianity and Islam in the Philippines. The third, on Muslims and the Philippine nation, takes in the Moro wars, the conflict in Cotabato, Maguindanaon views at the constitutional convention, the Philippine state and Muslim ideas, development in Mindanao and Sulu, and the prospects for peace in the Muslim South.
The book was reviewed in the Journal of Asian Studies in 1989 and the Journal of Southeast Asian Studies in 1991.
