About This Book

A comprehensive, document-based account of the islands under new administration that scrutinizes allegations about promised independence and evaluates insurgent collaboration and governance across regions. It reconstructs military actions and political debate, assesses wartime conduct, and describes the creation of civil institutions including commissions, the civil service, constabulary, and the judiciary. Subsequent chapters treat public-health campaigns, social and infrastructural improvements such as roads and mountain settlements, education and scientific coordination, and argue that these measures produced greater peace, order, and material development.

The author, Dean C. Worcester, was a member of the Philippine Commission and afterwards Secretary of the Interior for the Insular Government of the Philippine Islands. In this work he gives an impression of the early years of American colonial politics in the Philippines, which the US acquired in 1898. It goes into a lot of detail on the dealings with the Filipino resistance, the organization of the administration, education, health-service, etc. Probably the most controversial of all American officials during the American era, considerable space is dedicated to rebutting the strong criticism in James H. Blount’s The American Occupation of the Philippines, 1898–1912.
