Description
With Phillip Guingona (Nazareth University)
This talk is based on the speaker’s 2024 book, China and the Philippines: A Connected History, c. 1900-1950, which brings to life an array of understudied, but influential characters, such as Filipino jazz musicians, magnetic Chinese swimmers, expert Filipino marksmen, leading Chinese educators, Philippine-Chinese bankers, Filipina Carnival Queens, and many others.
Through archival research in multiple languages, the book and this talk advance a nuanced reading of world history, reframing our understanding of the first half of the twentieth century by bringing interactions between Asian people to the fore.
