Charged with designing environments for the occupation government, Burnham set out to convey the ambitions and the dominance of the regime, drawing on neo-classical formalism for the Pacific colony. The spaces he created, most notably in the summer capital of Baguio, gave physical form to American rule and its contradictions. In American Imperial Pastoral, Rebecca Tinio McKenna examines the design, construction, and use of Baguio, making visible the physical shape, labor, and sustaining practices of the US's new empire-especially the dispossessions that underwrote market expansion. In the process, she demonstrates how colonialists conducted market-making through state-building and vice-versa. Where much has been made of the racial dynamics of US colonialism in the region, McKenna emphasizes capitalist practices and design ideals-giving us a fresh and nuanced understanding of the American occupation of the Philippines.Igorot (Philippine people)PhilippinesBenguet (Province)HistoryCity planningPhilippinesBaguioHistoryBaguio (Philippines)HistoryPhilippinesColonizationPhilippinesRelationsUnited StatesUnited StatesRelationsPhilippinesBaguio (Philippines)Ethnic relationsPhilippinesHistory1898-1946Daniel Burnham.Philippines.Progressivism.United States imperialism.capitalism.colonialism.hill station.urban planning.Igorot (Philippine people)History.City planningHistory.959.9/1McKenna Rebecca Tinio, 995560DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910154283803321American Imperial Pastoral2281101UNINA
