WARDE, Mirian Jorge. Adaptations and translations: primers and reading books “from Americans to Filipinos” (early 20th century). Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e118.  Epub 13-Sep-2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-118.

The domination of the United States over the Philippines, which began in 1898, was the first test of the model of cultural colonization that they would later adopt in other territories. It represents a modality of “transnational relationship” in which the parties entered in very unequal conditions. Once the main insurgent foci were annihilated, the US government began to invest heavily in the schooling of Filipinos by selecting and adjusting their educational standards. The article interrogates the US arguments for domination and focuses on reading books and primers translated and adapted for Filipino students as primary tools of the cultural arsenal used.
