[MINDANAO 2022]: At least 50 Mindanao books published, 19 more than 2021 harvest
DAVAO CITY (MindaNews / 15 January) – At least 50 Mindanao books –books written by Mindanawons on various topics and books on Mindanao written by Mindanawons and non-Mindanawons — were published in 2022, 19 more than the 2021 harvest.
History and peacebuilding, the dominant themes in previous years, have given way to literature. The list also includes translations from Persian to English.
Thirty of the 50 books in 2022 were published in Mindanao – 17 in Davao City, nine in Cotabato City, two in Zamboanga City, one in Digos City and one in Iligan City.
Writing and publishing Mindanao books did not stop during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. At least 20 Mindanao books were published in 2020 and 31 in 2021.
A collective launch of 59 books published in 2020, 2021 and the first half of 2022 was held during the 2nd Mindanao Book Festival held at the St. Alphonsus Theological and Mission Institute at the Redemptorist Convent in Davao City in June 2022, the first face-to-face gathering of Mindanao writers since the pandemic lockdowns.
