THIS ESSAY GROWS OUT OF AN EFFORT TO UNCOVER THE DISCURSIVE processes by which subordination is achieved. My concern here is with racial subjection. Subjection, as Judith Butler explains, "signifies the process of becoming subordinated by power as well as the process of becoming a subject."1 Butler is drawing on Michel Foucault's insight that subjection involves the simultaneous forming and regulating of the subject. This theme of subjection is part of a broader inquiry concerning the interrelation between discourse, representational practices, and the constituting of human subjectivity as subaltern. Like my previous work that treats representations of the racialized Asian and Pacific Islander, I take a historical perspective to understand the conditions and specificity of these connections.KeywordsRacial IdentityPhilippine IslandAmerican SoldierNative TribeSpanish ColonialThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
