3 Scott, William Henry, 1921- THE DISCOVERY OF THE IGOROTS : Spanish Contacts with the Pagans of Northern Luzon
Quezon City New Day Publishers 1974 Paperback Very Good with no dust jacket 
15 x 23 cm.; pg. xiii, 370; Foreword, preface, list of 11 maps, introduction, bibliographic essay, bibliography. "Since the Igorots of the Cordillera Central were still living in a pre-literate society at the time of the American occupation, much of their past is unrecorded and irretrievable. The story of the resistance to westernization can however be gleaned, as Scott expertly shows, from the records kept by those Spaniards who attempted, mostly in vain, to convert and conquer the mountain dwellers for Christ and King. What the Spaniards failed to discover about the Igorots, Scott reflects, was that they were Filipinos. Instead, the colonizers bequeathed to their American heirs of empire a tragic 'distinction between lowland and highland Filipinos which contrasted submission, conversion and civilisation on the one hand with independence, paganism and savagery on the other'." Richardson #295
