| Zusammenfassung: | This article examines the impact that civil unrest has had on Mindanao since the sixteenth century. It is argued that the ongoing unrest has largely been caused by the policies of the Philippine governments that followed the Spanish and American periods of colonization. The article focuses on the introduction of martial law in 1972, the growth of Muslim separatist movements, and the ensuing peace movements. In addition, it is recognized that the severe hardship and poverty that the people of Mindanao have endured during the last thirty years is attributable to government-backed military activities on the island. |
