Moro Reader
in CD-book launched
The
Center for People Empowerment in Governance launched its latest
book, "Rethinking the Bangsamoro Crucible: A Reader,"
in CD format on August 28, 2008 at the Bulwagang Sala’am,
Asian Center, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City.
The
launching-forum of the book was attended by Muslim students, faculty,
some legislators, cause-oriented groups, and members of the diplomatic
corps. The book was launched in the midst of the political heat
generated by a controversial Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral
Domain (MoA-AD) whose signing on August 5 was aborted by a temporary
restraining order issued by the Supreme Court.
The
275-page book also features historical documents and copies of agreements
relevant to the Bangsamoro issue and peace talks. It was written
by scholars, writers, and peace advocates and is on sale at PhP200
a copy.
Hard
copies will be available by early October this year. The printed
version will be titled, The MORO READER: History and Contemporary
Struggles of the Bangsamoro People.

Crucible, A Reader”.
