Wars of Extinction: Discrimination & the Lumad Struggle in Mindanao

"This book puts forward the argument that the experience of the indigenous people of Mindanao, Philippines, the Lumad, goes beyond the limits of structural discrimination. What they have endured are really obvert wars of extinction waged against them by the colonial and contemporary Philippine State fronting for extractive enterprises. In the face of such direct and indirect experiences of historical marginalization, the Lumad has no recourse but to resist and fight back" -- Back cover.
