Join us on Thursday, May 14th, at 4:00 Eastern for our next Webinar!
Event Description:
Dr. Miller will discuss settler migration programs in the Philippines, first devised by agents of the American colonial state in the early twentieth century. State sponsored and privately funded migrations from Hispanicized low-land areas into Muslim and Indigenous spaces not only materially dispossessed Muslim and Indigenous Filipinos but established the logics of settler entitlement that have served as an alibi for extractive political economies and their attendant inequalities.
