Abstract

This dissertation is a study of social change among the Bajau of Sulu Province, Republic of the Philippines. It is based upon two field trips (June, 1963 to January, 1964 and October, 1965 to May, 1967) among two groups of Bajau, namely the nomadic boat-dwellers of the Tawi-Tawi Islands and the sedentary house-dwellers of the Sibutu Islands. The study is focused upon the changes in social structure resulting from the abandonment of a nomadic boat-dwelling way of life and the acceptance of a sedentary house-dwelling way of life.
