This book makes use of the historical descriptive method to describe the origins and evolution of the Americanization process in Manila in the first two decades of American rule. It seeks to describe the transformation of the city in the light of the American colonial objectives. It focuses on the sociopolitical dynamics of administrative policy on three important components of American social modernization program: city planning and infrastructure, health and sanitation, and education. The book adopts an entirely different framework by examining colonization from the perspective of cross-cultural relations. It espouses an interdisciplinary approach and uses indigenous social science concepts as integrating mechanism. The author uses the concepts of loob and kapwa and Scott's dominant-subordinate relationship as operational paradigms to analyze colonial relationships in a historical study. The various forms of interaction between the Americans and the Filipinos are examined from records of both public and private discourse of Americans and Filipinos. (Provided by the Publisher)
