Irineo Miranda’s Ethnographic Portrait of Nina Rasul and the Philippine Bangsamoro

My article, “Irineo Miranda’s Ethnographic Portrait of Nina Rasul and the Philippine Bangsamoro,” is now out in the latest issue of Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints (Vol. 73, No. 1, pp. 3–43).

This piece revisits Miranda’s 20th-century illustrations through the lens of colonial ethnography, visual anthropology, and Bangsamoro history, tracing how his portrait of Nina Rasul oscillates between scientific taxonomy and racial fantasy.
