| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study aimed to understand the implication of Filipino women’s embracing Islam by recognizing the conversion as merely personal acceptance of faith and doctrine, but transformation of the individual from the social majority to minority, recipience of pan-Arabic values, and inclusion in inter-ethnic dynamism, and locating them in the complex and multi-layered power relationships. The study elucidated that the relationships were influenced by images created in the Philippines historically and the Western media on Islam and Muslim, and power balance of ethnicity/nationality. Moreover, not only economic factors such as religious and local affinity, but also other factors of relatedness did affect these relationships. In addition, the study pointed out that the children of intermarriage converted women had roles of variation of ethnic identities, and led to reconsideration of ethnic boundaries in the Philippine Muslim society.
