Sobre este livro

This book redraws the map of the United States by tracing the overseas colonies, protectorates, and territories that most American classrooms leave blank—lands such as the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where imperial rule shaped daily life even as mainland narratives spoke only of democracy and manifest destiny. It asks what happens when the story of "the United States" is told strictly as a continental republic, while millions of people lived under American sovereignty far beyond the North‑American map. The narrative centers on three overlapping mechanisms: the late‑nineteenth‑century pivot from continental expansion to overseas empire, most visibly after the 1898 Spanish‑American War; the legal and racial architecture that treated many island and Pacific subjects as non‑voting colonial citizens, bound to the U.S. but excluded from the political community; and the ways in which textbooks, maps, and popular imagery have long rendered these territories invisible or peripheral, even as their economies, bases, and inhabitants were deeply entangled with U.S. power. Drawing on military records, colonial statutes, and local histories, the book shows how the "empire that didn't look like an empire" quietly anchored U.S. global reach long before the Cold War.
