A century before the Philippines came under American control,
Americans were already travelling to Southeast Asia regularly. This
book looks at the writings of American diplomats, adventurers, and
scientists and chronicles how nineteenth-century Americans viewed
and imagined Southeast Asia through their own cultural-political
lenses. It argues that as Americans came to visit the region they
also brought with them a train of cultural assumptions and biases
that contributed to the development of American Orientalism in
Southeast Asia.
