This essay explores strategies by which Filipinos in the U.S. resist the erasure of the history of U.S. colonialism in the Philippines and contemplate the hierarchy-creating effects of the“special”relationship between the U.S. and the Philippines for Filipino migrant groups. It studies how Bienvenido Santos's 1955 short stories recover a history of benevolent assimilation, as U.S. colonial policy in the Philippines, and also reframe it in the context of Cold War global anxieties over gender and sexual norms. |
