  • Philippine Independence in U.S. History: a Car, Not a Train
    Philippine Independence in U.S. History: A Car, Not a Train Daniel Immerwahr Northwestern University Pacific Historical Review, forthcoming August 2020 The Fourth of July, 1946, was an unusual Independence Day for the United States. On the one hand, it commemorated the thirteen colonies’ dec- laration of independence from the British Empire. But on the other, it was the day when the Philippines, the largest colony the United States had ever held, gained freedom from the U.S. Empire. In Manila, a specially stitched U.S. flag with one star from every Philippine province descended the flagpole. Up the same pole rose the Philippine flag, previously banned by colonial officials. “There were not many dry eyes in the crowd,” an observer noted.1 Independence was a significant turning point, and scholars of Philippine history have been particularly attentive to its character. Did it secure freedom or merely grant “independence without decolonisation,” as Alfred W. McCoy has put it?2 They have asked, too, about the consequences of independence for domestic politics. There are disagreements, but what no one debates is that independence was a major event, sending large waves crashing in all directions.3 In U.S. historiography, however, the events of 1946 have made hardly a ripple. Discussions of the loss of the country’s largest colony, containing ap- proximately 18 million people at the time, rarely feature in the broad narratives about the United States that synthesize the field’s findings.

  • The Census and Creating a Filipino Nation
    The Census and Creating a Filipino Nation The U.S. Census Bureau has always highlighted American diversity through its decennial snapshots of the population. As the United States grew and the population became more diverse, the Census Bureau’s workforce adapted to represent the country’s people and needs. As immigration from non-European countries increased in the 19th century, the Census Bureau tried to hire enumerators that lived in the neighborhoods and spoke the language. Others became a part of the operations in Washington, DC. From the first surges of Chinese immigration into California in the 19th century, immigrants of Asian and Pacific Islander heritage have long contributed to the Census Bureau’s mission, both at headquarters and in the field. Epifanio de los Santos y Cristóbal was Epifanio’s picture from the born on April 7, 1871, in Malabon, 1903 Census. Manilla, to Escolasitcio de los Santos and Antonina Cristóbal y Tongco. Epifanio’s mother was a musician, while his father was an influential man from the province of Nueva Ecija, where Epifanio spent much of his youth collecting plants and flowers and learning about the various local communities. From an early age, Epifanio excelled at almost everything he touched, and most people assumed he would become a musician since he showed marked talent in that area. Indeed, after graduating summa cum laude from the Ateneo Municipal de Manila Epifanio, the university offered him a professorship in music. However, Epifanio also excelled at writing, both fiction and history, art, and law and he decided to pursue the latter.

  • Reluctant Liberator: Theodore Roosevelt's Philosophy of Self
    Reluctant Liberator: Theodore Roosevelt’s Philosophy of Self-Government and Preparation for Philippine Independencepsq_3688 494..518 STEPHEN WERTHEIM Columbia University Theodore Roosevelt is well known as an imperialist. The common understanding is both too weak and too strong. Too weak, because Roosevelt idealized an imperialism that could last forever in civilizing savages. Too strong, because Roosevelt prepared the American-occupied Philippines for independence within a generation. This article analyzes Roosevelt’s philosophy of self-government and reinterprets his Philippines policy in light of the philosophy. Roosevelt emerges as a reluctant anti-imperialist—an imperialist by desire but an anti-imperialist in governance. His imperialist ambitions were thwarted by America’s ideals of self-government and its democratic political system, channeled through the powers of Congress and the process of regular elections. At a crest of imperial opportunity, America eschewed empire. Imperial occupation remained a great aberration in American foreign relations. The United States was born in anticolonial rebellion, but in 1910, its former president exhorted the people of Sudan to submit to British rule forevermore. Theodore Roosevelt, addressing an American Presbyterian mission in Khartoum, declared the Sudanese to “owe a peculiar duty to the Government under which you live—a peculiar duty in the direction of doing your full worth to make the present conditions perpetual” (1910, 3). If independence was an inherent, if eventual, right of peoples the world over, that right was not self-evident to Roosevelt. Twelve years of British rule had, he later explained, achieved “astonishing progress from the most hideous misery to well-being and prosperity”—emphasis on hideous misery.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT Unlike communist parties elsewhere in Asia, the Partido Komunista sa Pilipinas (PKP) was constituted almost entirely by acti­ vists from the working class. Radical intellectuals, professionals and other middle class elements were conspicuously absent. More parti­ cularly, the PKP was rooted In the Manila labour movement and, to a lesser extent, in the peasant movement of Central Luzon. This study explores these origins and then examines the character, outlook and performance of the Party in the first three years of its existence (1930-33). Socialist ideas began to circulate during the early 1900s, but were not given durable organisational expression until 1922, when a Workers’ Party was formed. Led by cadres from the country's principal labour federation, the Congreso Obrero, this party aligned its policies increasingly with those of the Comintern.

  • Photography & Power in the Colonial Philippines Ll
    Tweet Like LOOKING & LOOKING BACK The U.S. imperial agenda that emerged from the Spanish-American War in 1898 was always controversial and critics of American colonial policy continued to voice their concerns. Many focused their attention on Dean Worcester, a vigorous supporter of U.S. policy in the Philippines and temperamentally one of the most divisive figures in the islands. James H. Blount, a vocal anti-imperialist, questioned Dean Worcester’s pretensions to scientific authority and mocked him for “discovering, getting acquainted with, classifying, tabulating, enumerating, and otherwise preparing for salvation, the various non-Christian tribes.” Blount felt that Worcester used photography to manipulate both Filipino subjects and American readers, trying to convince both groups that the Philippines was unprepared for political independence. “Professor Worcester,” he wrote, “is the P.T. Barnum of the ‘non-Christian tribe’ industry.” [1] We know very little about the men and women who sat for Dean Worcester’s camera. Most of them could not read or write, and so a century later we are left to decipher their emotions and motivations from the images themselves. Many of the images feature defiant resistance, sullenness, evasion, even obvious boredom; a stubborn refusal to look at the photographer; or a testy stare directly back at the camera and the political power that it embodied. There were few options for the residents of the hill tribes who posed for Worcester and his companions, but the photographs show their efforts to act, even within that limited range. We know little about what the men and women who sat for Worcester’s photographs thought about the experience.

Dillard __________________________ Professor Judy Tzu-Chun Wu Antoinette Errante, co-adviser Educational Policy and Leadership Copyright by Roland Sintos Coloma 2004 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a history of United States imperialism and Filipino education in the early twentieth century. It is bounded by a time period beginning in 1900 with the establishment of public education in the Philippines, a territory that the U.S. acquired along with Cuba and Puerto Rico at the end of the Spanish-American War. It culminates with the return to the islands in 1910 of Camilo Osias (1889-1976), an American-trained Filipino educator who helped transform his country’s school and political systems. Grounded in postcolonial and ethnic studies, a combined framework that examines the transnational oppression and resistance of colonized peoples of color, this study analyzes the themes of interconnection, identity and agency. Methodologically, data was collected through archival research in universities, government agencies, and public and private libraries in the United States and the Philippines. Michel Foucault’s analytical method of archaeology facilitated the close reading of primary sources, such as government reports, educational materials, newspapers, and the personal papers of American and Filipino teachers.
