Beginning in 1898, the United States won overseas colonies as the
spoils of the Spanish-American War: Puerto Rico, the Philippines,
and Cuba. Guam and Hawaii were also acquired in that year, and in
1917, the Danish Antilles became the United States Virgin Islands.
The racial heritage of the territorial inhabitants paralled that of
nonwhite groups in the United States: Native Americans, Africans,
Asians, Hispanics, and mixed-race people. The nonwhite race of
domestic and overseas colonial people established important links
between American domestic racial policies and the racial policies
and the racial dimension of American overseas colonies. This book
is about these links, as shaped by the prevailing "racial
tradition" and social structure in the United States itself.
Crucial to examining these links is the little-known role of Booker
T. Washington in shaping American overseas colonial policy. It is
argued that following colonial acquisition at the turn of the
century, the American "racial tradition" was exported to overseas
territories, thereby largely determining colonial policy and
administrative practices, the nature of social and racial conflict,
and the direction and pace of political evolution in the
territories.
