Old Jolo and Zamboanga, 1268–1945 is an ethnohistory of two of the most misunderstood sites in the Philippines, exploring the ethnic origins, languages, cultures, beliefs, and traditions that have shaped the people of this region since precolonial times. It narrates the conflicts between the colonizers and the natives and how Jolo and Zamboanga managed to remain the Sama core of the archipelago even through years of conquest, rebellion, cultural assimilation, and world war.
Mindanawon scholar Mark Francis Francisco weaves together a tale of these two vital cities from primary documents and accounts as well as perspectives from renowned historians and scholars, both local and foreign. With a multidisciplinary approach, Old Jolo and Zamboanga, 1268–1945 endeavors to widen the scope of scholarship about the southern Philippines and present thorough diverse accounts of the realities that exist within this cultural matrix, particularly in the Moro lands.
In laying out the key roles these two centers have played in the archipelago and in Southeast Asia, Old Jolo and Zamboanga, 1268–1945 clearly demonstrates to modern readers that the history of Mindanao is the history of the Philippines.
