Scientific Authority, Nationalism, and Colonial Entanglements Between Germany, Spain, and the Philippines, 1850 to 1900 Scientific Authority, Nationalism, and Colonial Entanglements between Germany, Spain, and the Philippines, 1850 to 1900 Nathaniel Parker Weston A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Uta G. Poiger, Chair Vicente L. Rafael Lynn Thomas Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History ©Copyright 2012 Nathaniel Parker Weston University of Washington Abstract Scientific Authority, Nationalism, and Colonial Entanglements between Germany, Spain, and the Philippines, 1850 to 1900 Nathaniel Parker Weston Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Uta G. Poiger This dissertation analyzes the impact of German anthropology and natural history on colonialism and nationalism in Germany, Spain, the Philippines, and the United States during the second half of the nineteenth-century. In their scientific tracts, German authors rehearsed the construction of racial categories among colonized peoples in the years prior to the acquisition of formal colonies in Imperial Germany and portrayed their writings about Filipinos as superior to all that had been previously produced. Spanish writers subsequently translated several German studies to promote continued economic exploitation of the Philippines and uphold notions of Spaniards’ racial supremacy over Filipinos. However, Filipino authors also employed the translations, first to demand colonial reform and to examine civilizations in the Philippines before and after the arrival of the Spanish, and later to formulate nationalist arguments. By the 1880s, the writings of Filipino intellectuals found an audience in newly established German scientific associations, such as the German Society for Anthropology, Ethnology, and Prehistory, and German-language periodicals dealing with anthropology, ethnology, geography, and folklore. Into the 1890s, Filipino nationalists used scientific authority and references to German studies of the Philippines in polemics against Spanish authors who opposed colonial reform. After the U.S. defeat of Spain and refusal to grant Philippine independence in 1898, pro- and anti-imperialists in the United States also utilized evidence produced by German scholars to argue for and against colonization of the islands. Ultimately, this dissertation demonstrates that the creation and circulation of anthropological tracts and natural histories in a colonial context by foreign scholars contains the potential to support multiple imperialist and nationalist projects simultaneously.

I did not initially enter the University of Washington Graduate History Program with the intention of studying German colonialism. Rather, like many students of modern German history, I sought to pursue questions surrounding National Socialism. To this end, much of my early coursework dealt with the Holocaust and Second World War. I ultimately composed a research paper investigating memory and Jewish identity using the Viennese author Hugo Bettauer as a case study. His situation seemed exceptional because he converted from Judaism to Christianity at the age of eighteen, published an anti-racist novel, The City without Jews (Die Stadt ohne Juden ) (1922), and edited and wrote for a magazine advocating open conversations about sexuality. 1 He was assassinated by a Nazi in 1925, some thirteen years before Germany annexed Austria, and he was my great-grandfather. 2 Due to the close proximity of Bettauer and National Socialism to me personally, however, I decided against researching a topic directly related to the Holocaust for my dissertation. Instead, I took up the not completely unrelated subject of German colonialism, which was also deeply implicated in questions surrounding race. Professor Vicente L. Rafael first alerted me to the importance of Germany to the Filipino doctor and nationalist José Rizal, who traveled to and worked in Imperial Germany during the 1880s, published his anti-colonial novel Noli me tángere in Berlin in 1887, and conducted an extensive correspondence with the Austrian ethnologist Ferdinand Blumentritt from 1886-1896. 3 1Murray G. Hall, Der Fall Bettauer (Vienna: Löcker, 1978); Hugo Bettauer, Die Stadt ohne Juden: ein Roman von übermorgen (Vienna: Gloriette-Verlag, 1922); and Hugo Bettauer, “Die erotische Revolution,” Er und Sie: Wochenschrift für Lebenskultur und Erotik , no. 1 (14 February 1924): 1. 2“New Yorker is Shot by Vienna Dentist,” New York Times , 11 March 1925; and “Hugo Bettauer Dies of Wounds,” ibid., 27 March 1925. 3The following sources were essential for understanding the Filipino nationalist’s interest in Germany: José Rizal, Diarios y memorias (Manila: Comisión Nacional del Centenario de José Rizal, 1961); José Rizal, Noli me vii With scant background in the history of the Philippines, my work was cut out for me and I immersed myself in Philippine and Southeast Asian studies. At the same time, I set about reading through the voluminous writings of Rizal and Blumentritt. 4 Basing a dissertation in history solely on the correspondence between two people began to seem too narrow in scope, however, and my advisor Professor Uta G. Poiger recommended that I attempt to locate other German-speakers who studied the Philippines and other Filipinos who may have had some connection to Germany. Very little mention of the Philippines appeared in the secondary literature on nineteenth- century Germany, but because of Rizal’s prominence, there were a good number of secondary works on Philippine history that identified German scholars who had studied the peoples of the Spanish colony. 5 I began researching the German-language scholarship on the Philippines, which was written primarily in the form of anthropology and natural history, and as I read through this material, I was astonished to discover that in addition to producing much information about Filipinos, German scholars also frequently remarked on the Spanish, often critically, and particularly regarding their apparent lack of knowledge about the Philippines. 6 I tángere: novela tagala (Berlin: Berliner Buchdruckerei-Actien-Gesellschaft, [1887]); and José Rizal, The Rizal- Blumentritt Correspondence , 2 vols. (Manila: National Historical Institute, 1992). 4The following works contain full, though not complete, bibliographies of the writings of Rizal and Blumentritt respectively: Wenceslao E. Retana, Vida y escritos del dr. José Rizal (Madrid: Librería General de Victoriano Suárez, 1907), 457-75; and La Secretaría de la Asamblea Filipina, Asamblea filipina, tercera legislatua, segundo periodo extraordinario de sesiones, documento no. 6633—A1: vida y obras de Ferdinand Blumentritt (Manila: Bureau of Printing, 1914). 5Most important among these were William Henry Scott, ed., German Travelers on the Cordillera (1860-1890) (Manila: Filipiniana Book Guild, 1975); John N. Schumacher, The Propaganda Movement: 1880-1895: The Creators of a Filipino Consciousness, the Makers of Revolution (Manila: Solidaridad Publishing House, 1973); Hermógenes E. Bacareza, A History of Philippine-German Relations (Quezon City: National Economic and Development Authority, 1980); and Resil B. Mojares, Brains of the Nation: Pedro Paterno, T.H.

Davidson’s North Carolina militia, numbering between 600 and 800 men, set up camp on the far side of the river, hoping to thwart or at least slow Cornwallis’ crossing. The Patriots stayed back from the banks of the river in order to prevent Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tartleton’s forces from fording the river at a different point and surprising the Patriots with a rear attack. At 1 a.m., Cornwallis began to move his troops toward the ford; by daybreak, they were crossing in a double-pronged formation–one prong for horses, the other for wagons. The noise of the rough crossing, during which the horses were forced to plunge in over their heads in the storm-swollen stream, woke the sleeping Patriot guard. The Patriots fired upon the Britons as they crossed and received heavy fire in return. Almost immediately upon his arrival at the river bank, General Davidson took a rifle ball to the heart and fell from his horse; his soaked corpse was found late that evening. Although Cornwallis’ troops took heavy casualties, the combat did little to slow their progress north toward Virginia.

    Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Vicente L. Rafael Subject: Southeast Asia, Philippines, World/Global/Transnational Online Publication Date: Jun 2018 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.268 Summary and Keywords The origins of the Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histories of three empires that swept onto its shores: the Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese. This history makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation- states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power rela­ tionships. Such shifts have included not just regime change but also social revolution. The modernity of the modern Philippines is precisely the effect of the contradictory dynamic of imperialism. The Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese colonial regimes, as well as their postcolonial heir, the Republic, have sought to establish power over social life, yet found themselves undermined and overcome by the new kinds of lives they had spawned. It is precisely this dialectical movement of empires that we find starkly illumi­ nated in the history of the Philippines. Keywords: Philippines, colonialism, empire, Spain, United States, Japan The origins of the modern Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histo­ ries of three empires: Spain, the United States, and Japan. This background makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation-states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power relationships.

  • World War Ii in the Philippines
    WORLD WAR II IN THE PHILIPPINES The Legacy of Two Nations©2016 Copyright 2016 by C. Gaerlan, Bataan Legacy Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. World War II in the Philippines The Legacy of Two Nations©2016 By Bataan Legacy Historical Society Several hours after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the Philippines, a colony of the United States from 1898 to 1946, was attacked by the Empire of Japan. During the next four years, thou- sands of Filipino and American soldiers died. The entire Philippine nation was ravaged and its capital Ma- nila, once called the Pearl of the Orient, became the second most devastated city during World War II after Warsaw, Poland. Approximately one million civilians perished. Despite so much sacrifice and devastation, on February 20, 1946, just five months after the war ended, the First Supplemental Surplus Appropriation Rescission Act was passed by U.S. Congress which deemed the service of the Filipino soldiers as inactive, making them ineligible for benefits under the G.I. Bill of Rights. To this day, these rights have not been fully -restored and a majority have died without seeing justice. But on July 14, 2016, this mostly forgotten part of U.S. history was brought back to life when the California State Board of Education approved the inclusion of World War II in the Philippines in the revised history curriculum framework for the state. This seminal part of WWII history is now included in the Grade 11 U.S. history (Chapter 16) curriculum framework. The approval is the culmination of many years of hard work from the Filipino community with the support of different organizations across the country.

  • Nytårsrejsen Til Filippinerne – 2014
    Nytårsrejsen til Filippinerne – 2014. Martins Dagbog Dorte og Michael kørte os til Kastrup, og det lykkedes os at få en opgradering til business class - et gammelt tilgodebevis fra lidt lægearbejde på et Singapore Airlines fly. Vi fik hilst på vore 16 glade gamle rejsevenner ved gaten. Karin fik lov at sidde på business class, mens jeg sad på det sidste sæde i økonomiklassen. Vi fik julemad i flyet - flæskesteg med rødkål efterfulgt af ris á la mande. Serveringen var ganske god, og underholdningen var også fin - jeg så filmen "The Hundred Foot Journey", som handlede om en indisk familie, der åbner en restaurant lige overfor en Michelin-restaurant i en mindre fransk by - meget stemningsfuld og sympatisk. Den var instrueret af Lasse Hallström. Det tog 12 timer at flyve til Singapore, og flyet var helt fuldt. Flytiden mellem Singapore og Manila var 3 timer. Vi havde kun 30 kg bagage med tilsammen (12 kg håndbagage og 18 kg i en indchecket kuffert). Jeg sad ved siden af en australsk student, der skulle hjem til Perth efter et halvt år i Bergen. Hans fly fra Lufthansa var blevet aflyst, så han havde måttet vente 16 timer i Københavns lufthavn uden kompensation. Et fly fra Air Asia på vej mod Singapore forulykkede med 162 personer pga. dårligt vejr. Miriams kuffert var ikke med til Manilla, så der måtte skrives anmeldelse - hun fik 2200 pesos til akutte fornødenheder. Vi vekslede penge som en samlet gruppe for at spare tid og gebyr - en $ var ca. 45 pesos. Vi kom i 3 minibusser ind til Manila Hotel, hvor det tog 1,5 time at checke os ind på 8 værelser.
