01. Forgive me this last bit of self-promotion. My book, Civilizational Imperatives, is released today. It tells the story of the colonial encounter between Americans and the Moro peoples of the Southern Philippines, ranging from 1898 to the 1940s. This is the cover:

From the American Committee for Indonesian Independence Newsletter, January 1946, a cartoon that tells us lots and lots about the ways both Americans and Indonesians imagined the post 1945 world economy and decolonization.

For those who missed the original tweet - my Zoom book launch is tomorrow. In convo with Patricio Abinales (Hawaii-Manoa), Karine Walther (Georgetown-Qatar), and Kim Wagner (QMUL). All welcome, link below.

the problem with chastising academics for sharing pdfs is that increasingly the scholarship in those pdfs would not have been possible without pdf sharing

I have long thought we need a 1846 project. Themes would include: Manifest Destiny, War with Mexico, seizure of Mexican and Indigenous land to expand slavery, anti-immigrant rhetoric, industrialization, genocide of Native peoples. #1846Project

The ghost of Frederick Jackson Turner and the dreaded f-word have risen again, it seems. #Twitterhistorians scoffing at this, rightly so, no doubt, but it's worth thinking about why we hate FJT.

On wildfires, private property, and colonial myths in the West:

Megafires and the Myth of the West

The assumption that wildfires should be rare and that smoke season is new is a holdover from one of the most tenacious colonial myths of the West.

My article 'Siblingship beyond siblings? Cousins and the shadows of social mobility in the central Philippines' is out now

@TheJRAI

. Open access & early view: bit.ly/2x4Wnnc. How I wish this came out during a more upbeat period - but then, shadows & darkness imply light.

Siblingship beyond siblings? Cousins and the shadows of social mobility in the central Philippines

This article examines cousinship as a border zone that encompasses distance and intimacy, sameness and difference, and which mediates and is mediated by other kinship ties. It investigates how...

23. Point being: scholarship begets scholarship. Thanks to all the above and many others who guided me.

22. I feel pre-emptively guilty about anyone I’ve missed, but hopefully this gives you a sense of amazing range of material being produced. There are four or five really great books in prep, and probably others I’m not yet aware of.

21. And, finally (for now): Samuel Tan has been working on Mindanao and Sulu longer than anybody – getting through his publication list is daunting! Check out this recent collection of essays:

The Muslim South and Beyond

These essays are conveniently arranged from general to specific issues of the Mindanao conflict and the central relevance of the Muslim South to the problem.

20. Thomas McKenna’s Muslim Rulers and Rebels is a close reading of Cotabato across the colonial / postcolonial divide and a remarkable study of Moro and Lumad groups negotiating the transition:

Muslim Rulers and Rebels

In this first ground-level account of the Muslim separatist rebellion in the Philippines, Thomas McKenna challenges prevailing anthropological analyses of nationalism as well as their underlying...

19. Michael Salman’s study of American responses to slavery in the Philippines is crucial for understanding intersections between race, religion, and labor during the early years of U.S. imperial rule:

The Embarrassment of Slavery

A series of controversies over the existence and meaning of slavery shaped American colonialism and nationalist resistance in the Philippines. While American officials claimed colonialism would free...

18. There is no better guide to the social and economic life of the “Sulu Zone” than the person who coined the term, James Francis Warren. And no better place to start than his now-classic work:

The Sulu Zone: The Dynamics of External Trade, Slavery and Ethnicity in the Transformation of a...

By James F. WarrenFirst published in 1981, The Sulu Zone deals with a fascinating geographical, cultural and historical "border zone" centered on the Sulu and Celebes Seas between 1768 an...

17. Northern debates over the future of Mindanao are adeptly handled by Nobutaka Suzuki, whose work probes the relationship between Filipino and Moro identities as an independent Philippines came was imagined and enacted:

Upholding Filipino nationhood: The debate over Mindanao in the Philippine Legislature, 1907–1913 |...

Upholding Filipino nationhood: The debate over Mindanao in the Philippine Legislature, 1907–1913 - Volume 44 Issue 2

16. Four decades on, Peter Gowing’s publications remain key texts on U.S. colonial governance in the Southern Philippines. Reading Mandate in Moroland is a great way to get your mind around the structure of the Moro Province:

Mandate in Moroland: The American Government of Muslim Filipinos, 1899-1920

15. Jeffrey Ayala Milligan's work taught me a lot about the educational systems in colonial Mindanao and Sulu. His 2005 book incorporates them into the larger story of struggles over schooling in the postcolonial Philippines:

Islamic Identity, Postcoloniality, and Educational Policy - Schooling and Ethno-Religious Conflict...

This book theorizes a philosophical framework for educational policy and practice in the southern Philippines where decades of religious and political conflict between a minority Muslim community and...

14. An insightful essay he wrote on Moro-Middle East connections appears in this volume:

From Anatolia to Aceh

Southeast Asia has long been connected by trade, religion and political links to the wider world across the Indian Ocean, and especially to the Middle East through the faith of Islam. However, little...

13. The eminent global historian William Clarence-Smith is also working on a large project connected to the Southern Philippines, to which he brings his encyclopaedic knowledge of Asian and African worlds.

12. …and likewise excited for Timothy Marr’s next book. A leading scholar on U.S.-Muslim cultural relations, Tim has produced the most thorough accounts we have of the Lebanese-American colonial official Najeeb Saleeby and Sultan Jamalul Kiram II of Sulu. lebanesestudies.ojs.chass.ncsu.edu/index.php/mash

11. Patricia Irene Dacudao’s articles and recent dissertation are the authoritative texts on the plantation complex in colonial Davao. If you want to learn about how capital and settlers remade Mindanao read her work. I’m very excited for her book:

[PDF] ABACA: The socio-economic and cultural transformation of frontier Davao, 1898-1941 | Semantic...

This thesis studies the encounter of the local and the foreign in Davao, a region in the southern Philippines, during the first half of the twentieth century. Davao, under American rule, was a...

10. Sacred Interests by

@karinewalther

is one of the very best studies of U.S. entanglements in the Islamic world. Her book brilliantly links together a century of diverse American interventions in Muslim spaces (including the Southern Philippines):

Sacred Interests | Karine V. Walther | University of North Carolina Press

Throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as Americans increasingly came into contact with the Islamic world, U.S. diplomatic, cultural, polit...

09. Few researchers have spent more time in or written more extensively on Mindanao than Midori Kawashima. I’m honestly not even sure where to begin because her contributions are so many. Perhaps take a look at her website: kawashimamidori.jp/research_activ

08. Michael Hawkins’ first book, Making Moros, reconceptualized military governance in the Moro Province. His new book, Semi-Civilized, looks at Moro-American interactions at the 1904 World's Fair:

Making Moros by Michael C. Hawkins | eBook | Cornell University Press

Making Moros offers a unique look at the colonization of Muslim subjects during the early years of American rule in the southern Philippines. Hawkins argues that the ethnological discovery,...

07. The richest recent work on Lumad identities and histories is by

@oona_paredes

. Her articles shaped my understandings of Mindanao's ethnocultural landscape and her book is the seminal text on Lumad encounters with Spanish colonialism:

A Mountain of Difference by Oona Paredes | Paperback | Cornell University Press

A Mountain of Difference recasts the early colonial encounter between the indigenous Lumad and Christian missionaries in the southern Philippines. This groundbreaking study of the Lumad—the...
