Abstract
Annotated Bibliography:
This book gives a detailed view on how local power was determined by state formation and how the state’s ability to establish its authority was mediated by mutual accommodation between strong men who controlled this frontier zone. This book compares Cotabato and Davao to show the process of state formation and the shaping of local power from the American period (1900–1941) to the eve of the declaration of martial law by Ferdinand Marcos (1946–1972). The author hopes that the readers will find the analyses and reevaluations presented here helpful in understanding and appreciating southern Mindanao's role in our history as a nation and as a people.
