This chapter examines the mostly unarmed struggle waged in Cotabato from 1980 until 1986 between the political alliances expressed spatially by the polar positions in Campo Muslim. It discusses the emergence of a new group of well-educated and politically active Islamic clerics called ulama, and evaluates the reactions of urban Muslims to their teachings. The chapter also highlights the emergence of a consolidated Muslim counterelite who publicly challenged the political legitimacy of the datu establishment.Less

This chapter considers the armed separatist rebellion in Cotabato and its immediate aftermath from the perspective of its rank-and-file supporters, describing the Bangsamoro Rebellion as experienced in and viewed from Campo Muslim, an urban poor community with a concentrated and self-consciously Muslim population. It suggests that the ordinary fighters and followers of the separatist rebellion held views and produced symbols of the armed struggle which differed markedly from those promoted by movement leaders.Less

This chapter examines the land, people, and contemporary political economy of Cotabato. It describes the community of Campo Muslim, which serves as an architectural testament to the peripheralization of Cotabato's Muslims under the Philippine republic. The chapter explains that most community members are acutely conscious of being poor Muslims in a city dominated by Christians, and that awareness has induced a tempered resentment toward city Christians which may occasionally be agitated into intense anger by a perceived offense.Less

This book investigates the meaning and motivations of the movement for Muslim separatism in the Philippines as it occurred in Cotabato, tracing the development of a Muslim nationalist identity, the origins of Muslim insurgency, and the mobilization of popular support for the separatist movement. It explores the complex configurations of power and resistance in contemporary Cotabato by means of an ethnography and of a specific urban community, and provides an ethnographic account of economic survival and political mobilization in Campo Muslim.Less
