To Rest Beside Another
Through the historical archives of the anti-Filipino white supremacist movements of the 1920s and 1930s, this article examines how activities (or nonactivities)—such as sleeping, lingering, cruising, or idling—unsettled structures of racial capitalist, heteropatriarchal, and colonial power. The time of rest, for Filipino diasporic transients, caused panic, not necessarily because it was a reparative means for reproducing labor power and increasin…

Monetary Authorities
In Monetary Authorities Allan E. S. Lumba explores how the United States used monetary policy and banking systems to justify racial and class hierarchies, enforce capitalist exploitation, and counter movements for decolonization in the American colonial Philippines.

Alien Capital
Iyko Day’s Alien Capital is a cultural-studies analysis of the historical intersections of capitalism, race, and settler colonialism. Day argues that from the nineteenth century to the contemporary moment, the Asian North American figure represents the concept of abstract labor. According to the discourse of what Day calls “romantic anti-capitalism,” abstract labor is the dehumanizing and exploitative form of labor that fundamentally structures c…
Imperial Standards
Recent historical work has illustrated the importance of the Philippine-American War in the twentieth-century formation of American empire. These studies, however, tend to efface important tensions between political and economic forms of imperialism, seeing capital as merely another instrument of sovereign rule. In response, this article illustrates that wartime imperial encounters in the colonial Philippines from 1898 to 1903 troubled the capaci…
