- Provides a briskly paced cultural history of the seldom discussed Philippine-American War, a conflict often treated as a footnote to the Spanish American War
- Written in a crisp, engaging style that will appeal to history buffs and scholars
- Draws on key figures like Mark Twain, William McKinley, Albert Beveridge, José Rizal, and others to bring the anti-imperialist debates of the 19th century to life
Mark Twain called it "pious hypocrisies." President McKinley called it "civilizing and Christianizing." Both were referring to the U.S. annexation of the Philippines in 1899. Drawing on documents ranging from Noah Webster's 1832 History of the United States through Congressional speeches and newspaper articles, and the anti-imperialist writings of Mark Twain, Harris keenly assesses the attitudes of Americans and the moralistic rhetoric that governed national and international debates over America's global mission at the turn into the twentieth century. She
offers a provocative reading both of the debates' religious framework and of the evolution of Christian national identity within the U.S. She also moves outside U.S. geopolitical boundaries, reviewing responses to the Americans' venture into global imperialism among Europeans, Latin Americans, and Filipinos.Readership: History buffs, those interested in US foreign policy in 19th Century as well as today; readers of publications like The Nation, The New York Review of Books, The New Republic, Harper's, Foreign Affairs, The Atlantic; journals like Journal of American History, American Quarterly, American Literary History, American Literature
