As analyzed by some of our best younger scholars, we can now see clearly-and learn from-what happened to that earlier generation who set out to make the United States an imperial power.”-Walter LaFeber, Cornell University\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\"This is an important and distinctive work. As an earlier discourse for understanding the diffusion of modernizing influences, technology, and global exchange, imperialism is the most important precursor to today's globalized economy and culture. Yet there are few studies of imperialism (and particularly American imperialism) that are broadly comparative or contextual. Filling this blank spot on the map, \u003ci\u003eThe American Colonial State in the Philippines\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to a wide audience.\"-Nick Cullather, author of \u003ci\u003eIllusions of Influence: The Political Economy of United States–Philippines Relations, 1942–1960\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIn 1898 the United States declared sovereignty over the Philippines, an archipelago of seven thousand islands inhabited by seven million people of various ethnicities. While it became a colonial power at the zenith of global imperialism, the United States nevertheless conceived of its rule as exceptional-an exercise in benevolence rather than in tyranny and exploitation. In this volume, Julian Go and Anne L. Foster untangle this peculiar self-fashioning and insist on the importance of studying U.S. colonial rule in the context of other imperialist ventures. A necessary expansion of critical focus, \u003ci\u003eThe American Colonial State in the Philippines\u003c\/i\u003e is the first systematic attempt to examine the creation and administration of the American colonial state from comparative, global perspectives. \u003cp\u003eWritten by social scientists and historians, these essays investigate various aspects of American colonial government through comparison with and contextualization within colonial regimes elsewhere in the world-from British Malaysia and Dutch Indonesia to Japanese Taiwan and America's other major overseas colony, Puerto Rico. Contributors explore the program of political education in the Philippines; constructions of nationalism, race, and religion; the regulation of opium; connections to politics on the U.S. mainland; and anticolonial resistance. Tracking the complex connections, circuits, and contests across, within, and between empires that shaped America's colonial regime, \u003ci\u003eThe American Colonial State in the Philippines\u003c\/i\u003e sheds new light on the complexities of American imperialism and turn-of-the-century colonialism. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors. \u003c\/i\u003ePatricio N.
