American Mestizos, The Philippines, and the Malleability of Race

Drawing upon Philippine and American archives, Nicholas Trajano Molnar documents the imposed and self-ascribed racializations of the American mestizos, demonstrating that the boundaries of their racial identity shifted across time and space with no single identity coalescing.

Mestizii americani, un grup care a aparut in Filipine dupa ce a fost colonizat de Statele Unite, au devenit o preocupare sociala serioasa pentru expatriatii americani si nationalistii filipinezi mult disproportionati fata de dimensiunea lor reala, confundand observatorii care au dezbatut unde se incadreaza in schema rasiala a natiunea insulara.
