Briones-Carsicruz, Nikki (2010) Contemporary Portrayals of the "Moro" in Folk Dramatizations in Spain, Central America, and the Philippines. Philippine Humanities Review, 11. pp. 65-86. ISSN 0031-7802
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This paper deals with portrayals of "Moro" in contemporary folk dramatizations of medieval struggles between Moors and Christians, found in village or town fiestas in parts of Spain, Central America, and the Philippines. It is often believed that the standard theme of these performances is Christian superiority, and the "Moro" is always cast in the role of villain and vanquished. While this still holds true for most performances, in a number of places, fiesta committees have decided to break with tradition, and have introduced formats and content that depart significantly from the standard formula.
