Living on the Edge: The Impact of Terrorism upon Philippine Villagers

W. Timothy Austin

Dept. of Criminology, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, 210 Walsh Hall, Indiana, PA 15705, U.S.A.

Based upon field observations, interviews, and document analysis, this research examines social and psychological consequences of terrorism on coastal communities in the northwestern region of Mindanao. Attention is given to the manner Filipinos have reacted to the continuing presence of terroristic violence (i.e., ambush, murder, kidnaping, and property destruction). Particular focus is placed on thef luctuating features of culture, personality, interaction, and situation as indicators of how citizens have coped with a hostile environment. At a more societal level, the influence of terrorism on the basic social institutions is scrutinized. A typology of adaptations to terrorism is offered, reflecting a variety of role stresses resulting from living in a hostile region.
