In From the Rainbow’s Varied Hue: Textiles of the Southern Philippines, editor Roy W. Hamilton and contributing writers delve into the cloth traditions of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago. Through photographs and essays, the book showcases the vibrant textile traditions of different communities including the B’laan, Bagobo, Maguindanao, and Maranao.

From the blood-red, polished abaca cloths of the B’laan and the dazzling headcloths of the Tausug to the striking plaids in magenta and orange silk created by the Maguindanao, readers will be transported into the rich textile traditions of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago.

Roy W. Hamilton is curator for Asia and Pacific Collections at the Fowler Museum at UCLA. This book is part of the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History Textile Series.
