Critical Historical Consciousness & Decolonizing for Filipinx American Critical Historical Consciousness & Decolonizing for Filipinx American Undergraduates Dalya Amiel Perez A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: Joe Lott, Chair Rick Bonus Kara Jackson Joy Williamson Lott Program Authorized to Offer Degree: College of Education 1 ©Copyright 2020 Dalya Amiel Perez 2 University of Washington Abstract Critical Historical Consciousness & Decolonizing for Filipinx American Undergraduates Dalya Amiel Perez Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Joe Lott College of Education This study seeks to understand how undergraduate Filipinx Americans develop historical consciousness and what the impacts of this are on their racial identity. The roots of Filipinx American historical erasure date back to colonization of the Philippines, both Spanish and U.S. occupations of the Philippines and continue to have a damaging effect on Filipinx Americans today (Leonardo & Matias, 2013). Evidence of this erasure is apparent in the absence of U.S. Philippine history from textbooks as well as the general absence of anything related to Filipinx Americans in contemporary pop culture or dominant narratives. Another form of erasure is in the invisiblity of Filipinx Americans under the racial category of Asian. This monolithic racial category obstructs possibilities to examine unique experiences, successes, and challenges Filipinx Americans as well as many other Asian groups face (Teranishi, 2010). In sum, the legacy of historical erasure, starting with colonization in the Philippines and the invizibilizing of Filipinos as Asian are factors that explain contemporary struggles for Filipinx Americans in higher educational contexts. My research seeks to examine the relationship between these phenomena and to explore what happens when Filipinx American undergraduates engage in learning critical colonial history. This is a qualitative study that centers on the narratives of Filipinx Americans undergraduates and their journey of grappling with racial identity. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT

By methodologically diffracting Pilipinx becoming through the public pedagogy of punk rock, this research complicates standard stories of Pilipinx identity to provoke more generative encounters with the Pilipinx diaspora in Oceania. As new materialist theory holds that social life is produced by aggregations of related events, it rejects the notion that ontological becoming is dictated by immutable systemic or structural realities. This application of new materialist ontology contributes to understandings of relationality by demonstrating how Pilipinx identity emerges out of processes of relational becoming comprised of co-constitutive discourses, movements, and materialities of human and nonhuman origin. This approach troubles conceptions of Pilipinx becoming which propose that Pilipinx bodies are racialized through the imposition of colonial mentalities and broadens these theorizations by approaching Pilipinx becoming as a relational process in which coloniality plays a part. This relational conceptualization of Pilipinx becoming is informed by how punk rock, when framed as a form of education, complicates dominant understandings of the contexts, conditions, and capacities of Pilipinx bodies.

He was quietly released after bribing the Spanish commander, but seventeen others of his company were retained for their value as guides, pilots or interpreters or, in the case of three females, for other virtues. One of these was a slave who could speak Spanish or, more accu- rately, "a Moor who understood something of our Castilian language, who was called Pazeculan."l A later account identifies this slave as a pilot and a Makassarese who, "after having been captured and passed from one master to another, had wound up in the service of the prince of L~zon."~His special linguistic proficiency may have been the result of the vicissitudes of his captivity, and so may his faith, since Makassar did not adopt Islam until the next century.

  • Colonial Name, Colonial Mentality and Ethnocentrism
    Colonial Name, Colonial Mentality and Ethnocentrism NATHAN GILBERT QUIMPO The Philippines is named after the Spanish king, Philip II, under whose or­ ders the country was colonized in 1565. Since the Philippines gained indepen­ dence in 1946, there have been several attempts to have the country's nam~ changed, mainly on the grounds that it is of colonial extraction. Each proposal for a name change has been shot down, and Philippines has prevailed. Defenders of Phillppines have argued that it is the veritable symbol of a saga of nation-building, of the struggle for freedom, and a true emblem of the nation and of national identity. While millions have proudly identified themselves as Filipinos and hundreds of thousands have fought or even died in the name of the Philippines, Phtlippines and Filipino are both tarnished terms. There is more to their being colonial-they repre­ sent what Frantz Fanon referred to as the internalization or "epidermalization" of inferiority among peoples subjected to colonization. Moreover, at different stages of the country's history, Phz1ippines and Fz1ipino have been associated with t'acial, class, ethnic/national and religious discrimination. A significant section of Muslim "Filipi­ nos" have objected to these terms, claiming these to be of colonial origin and insulting to their creed. In this writer's view, Philippines and Ft1ipino are reflecti~e of the ethno­ centric bias of the Christian majority and of the ethnocratic tenden~es of the Philip­ pine state. Quimpo While the name Philippines is certainly not the matrix of the colonial mentality that persists among many Filipinos, changing it may provide added impetus to the process of cultural decolonization.

In addition, the project aims at informing the inquiry as to the extent to which the process of reification that led to the development of a unified notion of ‘Hinduism’ in the modern era already was underway in the works of 18th century figures such as Jan-i Janan?

  • 110116 Ancient Entrepreneures
    1 Ancient Pinoy entrepreneurs Pilipino Express • Vol. 2 No. 17 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada September 1, 2006 History books tell us that Ferdi- nand Magellan discovered the Philip- pines in 1521. The familiar story says that he landed in the Visayas and soon met his end when he tangled with Lapulapu in the Battle of Mactan. Because the books all tell us that Magellan discovered the Philippines, many people assume that the Philip- pine Islands were somehow isolated from their neighbours. We have an image of pre-colonial Filipinos just minding their own business, perhaps doing a little trading with visiting Chinese merchants, when suddenly, the Spaniards show up, claim the is- lands for their empire and drag the natives into the modern world. This idea is probably a remnant of the co- lonial eras of Spain and the United States when the people really were cut off from their neighbours in South East Asia due to the protectionist trade practices of the two successive occu- piers. However, it wasn’t like that before the Spaniards arrived. Some of the places where pre-colonial Filipinos did business Filipinos in Southeast Asia Europeans had already met some other Tagalogs to also settle in China mentioned that Luzon traders Filipinos at least ten years before Ma- Malacca.

  • 7. Fluckiger the Will to Trade.Pages
    THE WILL TO TRADE STEVEN JAMES FLUCKIGER The Will to Trade: The Bruneian Incorporation of the Pre-Hispanic Manila Region STEVEN JAMES FLUCKIGER MA Student in History University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Abstract While it is difficult to precisely trace the origins of Brunei’s establishment of the Manila region as an economic satellite, sufficient sources suggest that it occurred as a result of a marriage between Bruneian and Manila royalty. Bruneian oral histories suggest this was a forced event brought upon the Manila polities by Bruneian leaders. However, other historical sources of the Luzones, the inhabitants of the Manila region, show that the Luzones played a greater role in the maritime trade of Southeast Asia. This is in part due to the strategic location of the Manila entrepôt between China and the more southern islands of Southeast Asia. This location, coupled with the Luzones long exposure to maritime trade in the region, motivated the Luzones polities to intermarry with the Bruneians to gain greater access to Southeast Asian maritime markets.

  • A Theological Understanding of Power for Poverty
    A THEOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF POWER FOR POVERTY ALLEVIATION IN THE PHILIPPINES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO US-BASED FILIPINO PROTESTANTS IN TEXAS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Asbury Theological Seminary Wilmore, Kentucky In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation Committee Dr. Gregg Okesson, Mentor Dr. Stephen Offutt, Reader By Yohan Hong April 2019 ABSTRACT This study calls attention to the sense of powerlessness of everyday people in the Philippines, and to the missional agency of US-based Filipino Protestants for the transformation of the Philippines. This research has been a journey to discover what kind of power is in play, how the fallen powers can be named and made visible, and then ultimately the ways through which power should be restored. In this process, I referred to the voices, perceptions, stories, and insights of US-based Filipino Protestants in Texas, in order to explore the causes of powerlessness. Through literature review and ethnographic research, two major causes of powerlessness are discovered: structural evil and social imaginary. On one hand, the sense of powerlessness is caused and perpetuated by structural evil. Given the context of the Philippines, structural evil is represented by oppressive and corruptive political power structures (the patrimonial oligarchy, patron-client relations, elitism, and a cacique democracy), and exploitative economic power structures (booty capitalism and neo-patrimonialism). On the other hand, the sense of powerlessness functions at some mythic level in relation to social imaginary. In this study, two different Filipino cultural values, Bahala na and Utang na loob, are investigated as the factors that cause and perpetuate a sense of powerlessness.

The Philippines became a sovereign nation in 1946 yet, fifty years later, colonial teachings continue to oppress Filipinos due to their colonial mentality (CM.) CM is an internalized oppression among Filipinos in which they experience an automatic preference for anything Western—European or U.S. American— and rejection of anything Filipino.
