A Reading: "Imperial Historicism and American Military Rule in the Philippines' Muslim South, 1898-1914"
Description
This article explores the creation and processes of imperial historicism among Moro populations in the Southern Philippines while accounting for a number of disturbing disruptions and anomalies in the Americans’ historical narrative (such as slavery and Islamic civilisation) that threatened to unravel the tightly circumscribed concept of a uniform and interpretable progressive transitional past. It also examines the ways in which American imperialists accounted for these anomalies, and manipulated their own interpretations of the past and the present to maintain the integrity of their philosophical imperial foundations.
