The United States And The Philippines: A Study Of Neocolonialism (studies In Political Economy)

This is a meticulously researched book, with profoundly important implications for all American citizens concerned with U.S. foreign policy. Professor Shalom gives us both a wealth of data and a rigorously pursued thesis. The book is a superb example of a case study which illuminates larger in this case, the question of neocolonialism. -- Howard Zinn, Professor of Political Science, Boston University Contents Maps Preface Introduction 1.
