Damon L. Woods is a historian and author best known for his various works concerning early Philippine history, specifically focusing on documents "written by Tagalogs in the Tagalog language" from the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries.[1] His work on these texts have led to renewed scholarly discourse on the nature, significance and veracity of the "historical" Barangay[2] and of the larger settlements described in early texts as "Bayan"[3][4]
Woods was a son of missionary parents, and grew up in Baguio, Philippines.[5] Damon Woods received his PhD in Southeast Asian History from the University of California, Los Angeles, and has since served as a lecturer at UCLA, University of California, Irvine, and California State University, Long Beach.[1]
