“This book is a unique and important book that is likely to quickly become the main reference point on law, Islam, and the state in the Philippines. It fills an important gap and will probably find its most receptive audience amongst those interested primarily in political science and law. It will also appeal to those working on Islamic law, comparativists and those interested in regional studies.”Simon Butt, The University of Sydney, Australia“This new book is superbly well presented. It will redefine and redirect the study of Islam and Islamic law in the Philippines and is likely to become the standard reference on the topic. Situated at the interface of Islamic studies, Islamic legal studies, political science, sociology and anthropology, it is a much needed reference for scholars of Islam and Islamic law in Asia and the broader Muslim world.”Robert W. Hefner, Boston University, USA
