Knowledge and pacification : on the U.S. conquest and the writing of Philippine history / Reynaldo Clemena Ileto. - Quezon City : Ateneo De Manila University Press, c2017. - xii, 361 pages : illustrations, maps ; 23 cm.
Includes notes, bibliography and index.
Acknowledgments.--Maps.--A shared history of wars.--The republic in southern Tagalog.--Mobilizing "people of the barrios".--Poblacion politics in a time of war.--The U.S. conquest.--Father and son in the embrace of uncle sam.--Friendship and forgetting.--The return of Andres Bonifacio.--History wars: Rizal in 1956.--Benevolent pacification.--Tutelage and anarchy.--The boss-mayor and his critics.--Appendix.--Endnotes.--Bibliography.--Index.
This book shows us how to think about the American century in the Philippines in another way. Colonial representations of the revolution and resistance to U.S. occupation have been contested quite effectively. But the bigger challenge, or rather pressing task, is to interrogate some basic notions that undergird our understanding of Philippine politics notions that owe their provenance to early attempts by U.S. officials and scholars to pacify the enemy.
