Description
This volume examines the socio-political developments in the Philippines under American colonisation, with a particular emphasis on educational reforms and the portrayal of indigenous territories. Dean C. Worcester provides detailed accounts of efforts to establish the Bureau of Education, describing its influence on local schools and curricula. The work also discusses policies aimed at integrating non-Christian groups such as the Igorot and Ifugao into the colonial framework, highlighting interactions with various ethnic communities and their customs. The book covers the administration’s approach to governance and development, along with descriptions of cultural practices and physical environments in remote regions. As a scholarly account from the early 20th century, it reflects the period’s colonial perspectives and efforts to document Philippine society amidst significant political change.
The work primarily focuses on the infrastructural, educational, and cultural shifts in the Philippines during the American occupation, with emphasis on ethnographic observations and governmental policies.
