Bakwit: The Power of the Displaced
by Jose Jowel Canuday

“A book that renders long overdue respect for the dignity and struggle of the bakwit—the people displaced by conflict and, at times, disenfranchised by aid. Canuday reminds us that the first and lasting fact in any rigorous and reverent social analysis is the resilience of the human spirit.”—Albert E. Alejo, S.J.
