As governments, corporations, and settlers race to take the world's forests for their own, what happens to the indigenous peoples who live there? Are they at the mercy of overwhelming forces, destined to lose livelihood, identity, and respect as they are dispossessed and assimilated? This account of the Dulangan Manoboan indigenous people of the Philippines whose rainforest homeland is being appropriated by loggers and settlers from the country's dominant societyexplores how one embattled society is changing its social organization to withstand outside forces. Environmental Invasion and Social Response examines the evolution of coordinated action among the Manobo, from its roots in religious response, through the development of numerous civil organizations, to its culmination in the emergence of indigenous land rights organizations. Despite government favoritism toward loggers and settlerslongstanding enemies of natural foreststhe Manobo have continued to develop new social structures for cooperation in pursuit of rights to their ancestral homeland. The success of their efforts will play a large part in determining the forest's futuredestruction at the hand of outsiders, or effective and sustainable management by those who have always lived there.
