Adaptations and translations: primers and reading books “from Americans to Filipinos” (early 20th century)

Main Article Content

Abstract

The domination of the United States over the Philippines, which began in 1898, was the first test of the model of cultural colonization that they would later adopt in other territories. It represents a modality of “transnational relationship” in which the parties entered under very unequal conditions. Once the main insurgent focuses were annihilated, the US government began to invest heavily in the schooling of Filipinos by selecting and adjusting their educational standards. The article questions the US arguments justifying domination and focuses on the reading books and primers translated and adapted for Filipino students as primary tools of the cultural arsenal utilized.
