Description
Victor Román Mendoza’s work delves into the complexities of U.S. imperialism in the Philippines during the early 20th century, exploring the intertwined relationship of race, sexuality, and governance. By dissecting historical events alongside literary and archival sources, Mendoza illuminates how fantasies of intimacy were constructed and manipulated within the colonial framework, shaping both Filipino and American identities.
The narrative reveals how these intimate dynamics influenced policies and perceptions, creating a space where racial and sexual governance became evident. Through Mendoza's insightful analysis, readers gain a deeper understanding of colonial narratives and their lasting impacts on cultural identity and power relationships between nations.
