Plenary Speaker: Professor Reynaldo Ileto
"American Scrapbooks: Two Filipinos' Experiences of the Imperial World"
"In this autobiographical presentation, I reflect upon the journeys of two
Filipinos to the United States, initially through the scrapbooks of photos and
other memorabilia of those events. My father, born in 1920, was a product of
U.S. colonial rule. His journey to West Point, New York, in 1940 turned him four
years later into a soldier of the empire, to fight the Japanese and, later, the
Communist enemy. I was born in 1946, the year the Philippines technically
became an independent nation-state. I followed my father's footsteps,
journeying to Ithaca, New York, in 1967 to pursue my graduate studies. Though
this was the time of the Vietnam War and student unrest worldwide – different,
to be sure, from my father's times – still I arguably was turned into a scholar of
the empire. But in what sense?
The scrapbooks of these two Filipinos are read in the context of the state of
"Philippine studies" in the 1930s and 1960s – in particular, the contested
representations of the revolution of 1896-98, the Filipino-American war of
1899-1902, and the special relationship with the U.S. In a sense both
scrapbooks can be placed in the category of "wartime experiences." In my
father's case, the wars were military in essence; for me, the battlefield was the
academe. The point of this exercise is to bring out the complex interplay of
personal experience and regimes of knowledge that constitute one's belonging
and response to empire in two different eras. But I speak from the standpoint of
the present and I hope that this exercise will illumine the scholarly challenges
we face in the age of imperial decline."
Professor Reynaldo Ileto is Professor of History and Southeast Asian Studies,
National University of Singapore. Prior to this, he was Reader at Australia
National University in Canberra. Ileto, a graduate of Cornell University, was a
student of classically trained scholars like O.D. Wolters, Benedict Anderson, and
Victor Turner. His Pasyon and Revolution (1979), widely recognized as one of
the seminal texts of Southeast Asian history, and his percipient essays collected
in Filipinos and Their Revolution (1998), have earned for Ileto international
recognition as the leader of Philippine Historical studies and a pioneer of the
burgeoning field of Filipino diasporic studies. Biographical information about Dr.
Ileto is available at:
