People of the middle ground : a century of conflict and accommodation in Central Mindanao, 1880s-1980s / Ronald K. Edgerton. - Quezon City : Ateneo de Manila University Press, c2008. - xiii, 439 p. : ill., map 23 cm.
Includes bibliography (p. 412-439).
Tells the story of people in central Mindanao who, over time, developed a masterful capacity to borrow from the new without losing touch of the old, reimagining them-selves not as willing Western clones or stubborn tribal traditionalists, but as virtuosos at articulating between multiple ways of being. Its central question is: How did they negotiate the middle ground in a world of swirling change? In answering that question, Dr. Edgerton provides a fascinating case study that will be invaluable to scholars everywhere who seek to understand how people with little power manage to articulate a changing sense of identity in the face of forces far more powerful than themselves.
