Vicente L. Rafael. Motherless Tongues: The Insurgency of Language amid Wars of Translation
Vicente L. Rafael’s latest book, Motherless Tongues, provides an insightful and contemplative look at language as the ultimate liminal space in both the social and political landscapes of postcoloniality. In the author’s words, his work “is about the vexed relationship between language and history” (1). In this way, it warmly echoes ideas from some of his earlier works, particularly Contracting Colonialism: Translation and Christian Conversion in…
Masculinity reborn: Chivalry, misogyny, potency and violence in the Philippines’ Muslim South, 1899–1913
This article offers an examination of the gendering of the Philippines' Muslim South under American military rule (1899–1913) through discourses of violence against women. It explores the exposition and discussion of cases involving abuse, murder, enslavement, and violence in both official and unofficial reports, which revealed a critical discourse of gender construction for both coloniser and colonised in Moro Province
Making Moros: Imperial Historicism and American Military Rule in the Philippines' Muslim South
Making offers a unique look at the colonization of Muslim subjects during the early years of American rule in the southern Philippines. Michael Hawkins argues that the ethnological discovery, organization, and subsequent colonial engineering of Moros was highly contingent on developing notions of time, history, and evolution, which ultimately superseded simplistic notions about race. He also argues that this process was highly collaborative, with…
Managing a Massacre: Savagery, Civility and Gender in Moro Province in the Wake of Bud Dajo
This article examines the delicate ideological maneuverings that shaped American colonial constructions of savagery, civility, and gender in the wake of the Bud Dajo massacre in the Philippines's Muslim south in 1906. It looks particularly at shifting notions of femininity and masculinity as these related to episodes of violence and colonial control. The article concludes that, while the Bud Dajo massacre was a terrible black mark on the American…
David Barrows and Perceptions of Historical Consciousness in the Colonial Philippines
This article explores American efforts in the colonial Philippines to instil a consciousness of history and modernity among Filipinos through a carefully crafted philosophy of time. It focuses primarily on David Barrow's work, History of the Philippine Islands (1905), as the ideal embodiment of a broad discourse permeating notions of superiority and inferiority, historicity and ahistoricity, and civilizational development — notions which shaped c…
Situating banal nationalism, the culture wars, and civil religion: Governing localized geographies of national identity in Indiana
Various material forms of national identity have become ubiquitous features of the post-9/11 American cultural landscape. This research specifically examines the ‘In God We Trust’ (IGWT) license plate in the state of Indiana as a material expression and territorialized form of national identity. While conceptually anchored in banal nationalism research, exploring the spatial patterns of adoption or non-adoption of IGWT license plates by Indiana r…
Our present concern: Historicism, teleology, and contingent histories of a more democratic global past
As scholars have attempted to move away from Eurocentric views over the past few decades and integrate disparate parts of the world into a more democratic narrative of world history, they have increasingly relied on the present as an empirical guidepost. The motives and rationales for this primary concern with the present as a source of historical knowledge are complex and deeply embedded in epistemological traditions and chronotypes that demand …
Imagining Vietnam & America: The Making of Post Colonial Vietnam, 1919-1950
Imperial historicism and American military rule in the Philippines' Muslim south
When American imperialists seized the Philippines at the dawning of the twentieth century, their guiding philosophy was predicated upon broadly conceived notions of cultural and political historicism. The unwavering self-assurance required to rule over millions of unfamiliar imperial subjects derived its potency from an unquestioned panoptic view of history. This epistemological tool of imperialism found an especially unique and fascinating expre…
