• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the complex history of the Philippines under American colonial rule, from its acquisition in 1898 to its independence in 1946. It explores the multifaceted political, economic, social, and cultural transformations that took place during this period, highlighting the tensions between collaboration and resistance, the imposition of American policies, and the Filipino struggle for self-determination. The analysis draws on historical events, key political figures, and the broader geopolitical context of the time, providing insight into how Filipino elites navigated the colonial system and how nationalist movements pushed for greater autonomy. The impact of American educational, economic, and military policies is analyzed, alongside the growing nationalist sentiment that would ultimately lead to the granting of independence in 1946. Through this lens, the book explores the lasting legacies of colonialism, the contradictions inherent in the independence process, and the complexities of decolonization in the post-war period. It offers a critical examination of the ways in which both collaboration and resistance shaped the path to independence, revealing the ongoing challenges of achieving true sovereignty in the face of imperialist control.
