“America in the Philippines”: An Historical Talk by Jennifer Hallock
On Thursday, April 13, 6:30—7:45 PM in the Galfand Meeting Room, Westborough Public Library, Jennifer Hallock will present a historical talk on “America in the Philippines.”
Hotly contested stump speeches on transpacific trade, immigration, and national security are not new to American political discourse. Join historian, teacher, and author Jennifer Hallock to learn how our first experiment in overseas empire in the Philippines (1898-1946) launched the American Century and still shapes our country now. She will discuss this chapter of our shared history, and lead a Q&A on the effects we continue to see today.
Interested in a more high-level analysis? Read her article, “Army Trenches and School Benches: The Philippine-American War in the Sugar Sun Series.” Copies of her books will also be available for sale and to be autographed at her talk.
