About this book
In Metroimperial Intimacies Victor Román Mendoza shows how America's imperial incursions into the Philippines fostered social and sexual intimacies between Americans and native Filipinos, that along with representations of Filipinos as sexually degenerate, were crucial to regulating both colonial subjects and gender norms at home.

Reviews
"... Metroimperial Intimacies demonstrates the multifaceted ways in which the United States attempted to manage the chaotic categories of race and sex in the new colony. Although not the first scholar to examine political cartoons and pensionado writing, Mendoza treads new ground in his attention to how male same-sex intimacy registered in these genres, enlarging our understanding of how colonial anxieties about race and sex shaped the social, legal, and cultural spaces of U.S.–Philippine relations."
-- Vernadette Vicuña Gonzalez Journal of Interdisciplinary History
"Victor Román Mendoza demonstrates that the history of American empire in the early-twentieth century Philippines can indeed be queered through intrepid research and savvy analysis. . . . [T]he analysis ranges from pathbreaking to brilliant."
-- Kristin Hoganson Canadian Journal of History
"Using a queer of color critique, Metroimperial Intimacies provides an innovative and much-needed study of social and sexual intimacies within the context of the early years of U.S. imperial colonialism in the Philippines."
-- Genevieve Clutario Journal of American History
