Definitive reference on Clan Feuding in Mindanao published

Written by leading conflict resolution scholars and advocates, the book aims to dispel widely-held stereotypes. Indeed, rido is only one aspect in the complex web of violence in Mindanao, which also includes Muslim separatism, communist insurgency, and banditry. The interaction of these different conflicts has explosive consequences for the long-running separatist war in Mindanao.

A deeper understanding of specific conflicts is crucial to disentangling the blurred lines of conflict and to enable communities and the government to effectively address the problem.

Presented in 10 chapters and concluding with a stirring personal account and recommendations, Rido: Clan Feuding and Conflict Management in Mindanao offers for the first time a clear understanding of the root causes of the conflict, the parties involved, the conditions for escalation and recurrence, and the potential for conflict resolution.
