Opis

Argues that the moment the US became an overseas colonial power in 1898, American national identity was redefined across a global matrix. The Philippines, which the US seized at that point from Spain and local revolutionaries, is therefore the birthplace of a new kind of America, one with a planetary reach that was accompanied by resistance to that reach by local peoples.
