- Summary:
- Bringing together the study of slavery and colonialism, this book shows how, in the struggle over US rule in the Philippines, both the Americans and the Filipinos invoked slavery as an evil that must be overcome. The US "discovered" a native slavery practice, while Filipino nationalists considered American rule as a form of enslavement.
