Description

In 1904, america exhibited more than 1,100 native Filipinos, Negritos, Igorot, Moros, and Visayans on the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri. Dubbed the “largest and finest colonial exhibit,” the Philippine Exhibition, despite the fact that an enormous success with the general public, proved controversial on account of its racist and imperialistic features, and the stigma it inflicted on Filipinos—a disgrace that may be still felt after a hundred years. Fermin’s impressive, well-researched book unearths new historical material pertaining not only to the fair but in addition to expositions held all the way through American colonial rule within the Philippines.
