Empire’s Proxy: American Literature and U.S. Imperialism in the Philippines - American Literatures Initiative
Meg Wesling
In the late nineteenth century, American teachers descended on the Philippines. This book argues that the ideological work of colonial dominance figured into the emerging field of American literature, and that the consolidation of a canon of American literature was intertwined with the administrative and intellectual tasks of colonial management.
