American empire at the turn of the twentieth century

a brief history with documents

  • 7 Want to read

This volume introduces students to primary documents on American empire from a pivotal era of U.S. expansion beyond the North American continent in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Along with covering a wide range of places-including Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines-the documents touch on a wide range of themes, among them race, citizenship, civilization, democracy, cross-cultural encounter, imperialism, anti-imperialism, and self-determination. Kristin Hoganson's introduction provides the context essential to understanding this period and the ways in which the echoes of 1898 still reverberate today, including in the reach of U.S. power and the composition of the American people. Through a collection of sources representing the voices of those living under imperial rule as well as those imposing and opposing it, students can consider the American imperial endeavors.

Contains primary source documents.
