Description: This book examines the Philippine islands at the turn of the twentieth century during the Philippine-American war. The author, a professor of ethnology, gives a deep dive into the history, geography, and culture of the multi-national archipelago. He explores the clash between the United States, a rising imperial power, and the Filipinos, who fought for their independence from Spanish colonial rule. The author emphasizes the Filipino people's ambition, their quiet docility, and their desire to be recognized on the world stage. His writings reveal the tragedy of a people caught between their desire for self-determination and the imposition of foreign rule. The author argues that the Filipinos are a highly gifted and ambitious people who deserve their independence.
