Synopsis

This book provides rich insights into the pivotal moments that led to the annexation of the Philippines by the United States. It unravels the complex motives that shifted American sentiment from initial reluctance to ardent support for retaining the Philippines. The author meticulously examines the interplay between humanitarian ideals and emerging imperial ambitions that shaped America's foreign policy during the Spanish-American War. Through a detailed analysis of historical events, the book uncovers the multifaceted arguments and diplomatic strategies employed by both the U.S. and Spain during the negotiation of the Treaty of Paris. Ultimately, it prompts readers to reflect on the enduring consequences of America's decision to acquire the Philippines, marking a turning point in its global aspirations and its relationship with the Filipino people.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For more than one reason this book should be read by those who are interested in Philippine affairs. It accurately presents the different stages through which American public opinion on the socalled Philippine question has passed. It is moreover the first attempt of a young Filipino educated in American schools to write in the English language. Most important of all, it echoes the voice of a generation of Filipinos that has grown to maturity during the period of American sovereignty over the I slands. Mr. Kalaw fairly represents the generation of Filipinos that is about to become an important factor in shaping the future of the archipelago.
