Subversions of the American century : Filipino literature in Spanish and the transpacific transformation of the United States
Adam Lifshey (Author)
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.
