      [0260g] Michael Bedford Collection, 1982-1991 (bulk 1986-1989), COLL00014

      Location: International Institute of Social History (IISH), Cruquiusweg 31, 1019 AT Amsterdam, The Netherlands

      Description: Michael Bedford (1946– ) lived and worked in the Philippines in 1970-1972 and 1975 and was involved in the anti-Marcos movement that centered on U.S. involvement in Philippine politics. Between 1986 and 1990 Bedford conducted interviews in the Philippines, most of them directly after the EDSA revolution in 1986. The purpose of his research was to understand the political struggles during the Corazon Aquino presidency between Legal Left groups and the liberation theology arm of the Roman Catholic Church on one side, and the conservative Roman Catholic Church, the rise in U.S. Protestant missionaries and corresponding growth of local anti-Communist vigilante organizations under the name of Christ on the other side. This is a documentation/research collection on right-wing vigilantes in the Philippines and the support they found in right-wing Christian groups in the USA. The vigilantes were responsible for the killings of many human rights activists, left wing activists, and labour leaders. The collection contains 56 audiocassettes consisting of unpublished interviews with a right wing vigilante, the head of the Christian Anti-Communist Crusade [CACC], priests involved in Liberation Theology, human rights workers, and others. Also included are 247 photos and slides of demonstrations and protest meetings of various parties and groups to the left and to the right of the political spectrum in the Philippines and of some other events, 1982-1991.
