As a nation, the Philippines has a colonial history with both Spain
and the United States. Its links to Latin/o America are
longstanding and complex. Intercolonial Intimacies interrogates the
legacy of the Spanish Empire and the cultural hegemony of the
United States by analyzing the work of twentieth-century Filipino
and Latin/o American writers and diplomats who often read each
other and imagined themselves as kin. The relationships between the
Philippines and the former colonies of the Spanish Empire in the
Americas were strengthened throughout the twentieth century by the
consolidation of a discourse of shared, even familiar, identity.
This distinct inherited intercolonial bond was already disengaged
from their former colonizer and further used to defy new forms of
colonialism. By examining the parallels and points of contact
between these Filipino and Latin American writers, Paula C. Park
elaborates on the "intercolonial intimacies" that shape a
transpacific understanding of coloniality and latinidad.
