Description



About the Book



"Dangerous Intercourse details the history of a variety of interracial relationships between Americans and the Filipino, Indigenous, Moro, Spanish and other residents of the Philippines during the period of formal United States colonial rule, 1898-1946, highlighting what such relations meant for both the U.S. empire and the individuals involved"--



Book Synopsis



In Dangerous Intercourse, Tessa Winkelmann examines interracial social and sexual contact between Americans and Filipinos in the early twentieth century via a wide range of relationships--from the casual and economic to the formal and long term. Winkelmann argues that such intercourse was foundational not only to the colonization of the Philippines but also to the longer, uneven history between the two nations. Although some relationships between Filipinos and Americans served as demonstrations of US "benevolence," too-close sexual relations also threatened social hierarchies and the so-called civilizing mission. For the Filipino, Indigenous, Moro, Chinese, and other local populations, intercourse offered opportunities to negotiate and challenge empire, though these opportunities often came at a high cost for those most vulnerable.

Drawing on a multilingual array of primary sources, Dangerous Intercourse highlights that sexual relationships enabled US authorities to police white and nonwhite bodies alike, define racial and national boundaries, and solidify colonial rule throughout the archipelago. The dangerous ideas about sexuality and Filipina women created and shaped by US imperialists of the early twentieth century remain at the core of contemporary American notions of the island nation and indeed, of Asian and Asian American women more generally.



Review Quotes




A welcome pioneering work...Winkelmann should be commended for curating a unique cohort of primary sources, some of which have not yet been mined by historians, including court cases, memoirs, newspapers, fiction, colonial papers, and archives, producing arguably the first major work on the history of gender and sexuality in the U.S. colonial period in the Philippines.

-- "Diplomatic History"
