Americanism And The Philippines (1900)

By William Alfred Peffer

Book Overview

Americanism and the Philippines is a historical book written by William Alfred Peffer in 1900. The book explores the political and social implications of America's colonization of the Philippines after the Spanish-American War in 1898. Peffer, a former U.S. senator from Kansas, examines the motivations behind America's imperialistic policies and the impact of these policies on the Philippines and its people. He argues that America's mission to ""civilize"" the Philippines is misguided and that the country should be granted independence. Peffer also delves into the economic and cultural factors that have led to the Americanization of the Philippines and the challenges faced by the Filipino people as a result. The book provides a critical analysis of American imperialism in the Philippines and its impact on both countries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
