These imported notions of race and modernity left a profound imprint on the nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore recently, we have seen a menacing rise of Islamic “terrorism,” political polarization, populism, xenophobia, and isolationism. Conventional wisdom has attributed this rise to a “failed state” or economic insecurity and cultural backlash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, however, George Radics explains this forgotten part of U.S. history with \u003ci\u003eemotions\u003c\/i\u003e as a driving force behind social action. The Philippines is currently experiencing the longest-running Muslim-Christian conflict in the modern world and an increasingly anti-Western populist government.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy unpacking the role of emotions from the American colonial period to the present, \u003ci\u003eEmotional Filipinos\u003c\/i\u003e blurs the line between American colonizer and Muslim-Filipino “terrorist,” highlighting the lasting effects of America’s footprint in Southeast Asia.
