This book examines how education contributed to the creation of US
empire in the Philippines by focusing on American teachers and the
Filipinos with whom they lived and worked. While education was
located at the heart of the imperial project, used to justify
empire, the implementation of schooling in the islands deviated
from the expectations of the colonial state. American teachers at
times upheld, adapted, circumvented, or entirely disregarded
colonial policy. Despite the language of white masculinity that
imbued imperial discourse, the appointment of white women and black
men as teachers allowed them to claim roles and identities that
transformed understandings of gender and race. Filipinos also used
the American educational system to articulate their own
understandings of empire. In this context, schools were a microcosm
for the colonial state, with contestations over education often
standing in for the colonial relationship itself.
