Mindanao has been a site of Bangsamoro people\'santi-colonial struggle since the Spanish colonization in the 16thcentury. In this monograph, Janet and Mary Ann Arnado examine thecontinuing violent conflict in Mindanao within the framework ofglobal competition for natural resources, and investigate theimpact of this conflict on the internally displaced population. Bydoing so, they introduce another lens in understanding the Mindanaoconflict, from the oft-repeated historical and political aspects tothe grand economic interests. Involving interviews and focus groupdiscussions with over a hundred stakeholders, Arnado and Arnadofocus their analysis on the 2003 war between government forces andBangsamoro fighters along the mineral-rich Ligawasan Marsh incentral Mindanao. Casualties of Globalization caters well toscholars and students in the social sciences, particularly inpolitical science and sociology. It is useful to policy makers andleaders in addressing the issue of peace and development inMindanao, and is equally valuable for civil society and grassrootsleaders in responding to their ironically dismal situation in theLigawasan marsh.
