{"product_id":"american-imperial-pastoral-rebecca-tinio-mckenna-9780226417769","title":"American Imperial Pastoral: The Architecture of US Colonialism in the Philippines","description":"In 1904, renowned architect Daniel Burnham, the Progressive Era urban planner who famously \"Made No Little Plans,\" set off for the Philippines, the new US colonial acquisition. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eAmerican Imperial Pastoral\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Tinio McKenna\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022641776X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226417769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Rebecca Tinio McKenna","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075972985087,"sku":"9780226417769","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa149416-f5e8-4498-bd92-fafeec51b544.jpg?v=1685462475","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-imperial-pastoral-rebecca-tinio-mckenna-9780226417769","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
