Professor Menelito Mansueto’s Decolonial Turn in the Philippine South marks a shift in thinking for Mindanao scholars who are studying colonial history. Mansueto brings into the discussion Enrique Dussel, Miranda Fricker, Romulo Bautista, among others to provide a fresh perspective and an uncanny overview of the development of the Philosophy of Liberation away from its usual biases. He also brings into light the novel ideas on radical democracy introduced by Dr. Christopher Ryan Maboloc, including the subsequent reactions to it, both hostile and affirming. Mansueto's book was launched in Davao City last February 6, 2025. It is available internationally via Amazon.com.
