"Jolo. Just a mere mention of its name floods the mind with a thousand bitter memories of conflict between the Christian colonial government of the Philippines and the Muslim Sultanate. It was a conflict marked by slaughter of both combatants and innocents alike, of devastating slave raids that depopulated whole villages; it was a conquest over a group of people, whose resistance was legendary. While battles ceased, the issues never did, seeping into the modern conciousness, serving as a springboard for protest and social unrest. The undulation of time always brings about these unrealized historical lessons in the guise of political and econonmic crisis to bedevil the country time and again. Augmenting our government's efforts to remedy social problems arising from unappreciated history, Dr. Samuel K. Tan's two books about the Jawi text are a source of enlightenment, which will illumine many who are blinded by historical misinformation. His books allow the readers to look into the lives of Muslim Filipinos closer than ever before, because the information in the books are given by the Muslim people themselves, with words, nuances and biases all their own, not by the author. The character of a people, often maligned and misunderstood, is presented here in its true expression. Thanks to Dr. Tan's efforts to recover the echoes of a distant past." "Hopefully this work will open up a corridor of cultural tolerance between Muslims and Christians, and encourage more research, more understanding, in order to find true unity in diversity." Ambeth R. Ocampo Chairman, National Historical Institute, Paperback, Label: National Historical Institute, National Historical Institute, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2005, Studio: National Historical Institute, Verkaufsrang: 9683453.
