Makers of America: Class discussion and exercises
Makers Of America: The Filipinos
Chapter 27:
Empire and Expansion, 1890 - 1909
Questions for Class Discussion
- Compare the Philippine immigration
to America with that of the Chinese (Chapter 23). How did American imperial
ownership of the Philippines make the Filipinos experience different
from that of other Asians?
- Even though more immigrants have come
from the Philippines than from China or Japan, it seems that most Americans
do not regard Filipinos as they view other Asian immigrants. Why might that
be so? Is the awareness of the Filipino presence greater in Hawaii and the
West Coast than in other parts of the country?
Suggested Student Exercises
- Analyze the political history of American-Philippine
relations as described in this chapter of the text. Consider its relation
to the history of Filipino immigration described here.
- Compare the old Filipino
immigration described here with the new postWorld War
II immigration from the Philippines.
