For decades, American historical scholarship about Philippine-American relations was limited. But when the Vietnam War focused attention on U.S. relations with Southeast Asia, new, archivally based research began. Among the first to appear was Theodore W. Friend's Bancroft-prize-winning book, Between Two Empires: The Ordeal of the Philippines, 1929–1946 (1965). Next Bonifacio S. Salamanca, Peter W. Stanley, and Glenn A. May explored the first twenty years of the American colonial experience. Likewise, sophisticated studies of the Philippine-American War (1899–1902) emerged. While these impressive accounts examined the relationship in a traditional framework, René Alexander D. Orquiza Jr. explores how the colonizers' food reflected their perspective on colonization. Except for the first chapter, “First Impressions,” which explores how American journalists, bureaucrats, and soldiers in the islands felt about food, the book is organized topically, though throughout it focuses more on the earlier years of American colonial rule. The chapters analyze menus, travel guides
