Description: The Philippines was the first colonial possession of the U.S. in southeast Asia following the Spanish-American War at the turn of the last century. Unlike the conquest of Cuba, Puerto Rico, or Hawaii, the United States encountered fierce resistance from the revolutionary forces of the first Philippine Republic that had already won the revolution against Spainches This manuscript offers the first history of the Filipinos in the United States, focusing on the significance of the Moro people?s struggle for self-determination.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 181-201) and index.
