Book Review

The Star-Entangled Banner: One Hundred Years of America in the Philippines. By Sharon Delmendo. (New Brunswick: Rutgers University Press, 2004. xiv, 229 pp. Cloth, $62.00, ISBN 0-8135-3410-0. Paper, $23.95, ISBN 0-8135-3411-9.)

Carrying a title suggestive of Keith Thor Carlson's The Twisted Road to Freedom: America's Granting of Independence to the Philippines (1995), Sharon Delmendo's study examines the century-long relationship between Filipinos and Americans, proffering the "two nations—and nationalism—variously defined and deployed by conflicting camps in both the United States and the Philippines" (p. 15). Perceiving a bond restrictive of Philippine sovereignty and self-identity, the author labels the two countries' restored accord since 9/11 an imperious renascence instigated by President George W. Bush.
