Between 1893 and 1902, the U.S. forcefully annexed Hawai’i and the
Philippines and participated in the brutal suppression of the
anti-imperialist Boxer Uprising in China. Since that time, the Asia-Pacific
region has been a major site for the development and maintenance of U.S.
empire. This is a history rooted in racism, which has engendered numerous,
broad-reaching revolutionary struggles, and which continues to have
profound consequences for people in Asia, the Pacific, and the U.S. today.
The panelists will show that, despite the oft-repeated goal of promoting
democracy, U.S. empire has consistently produced state repression and
violence for people living in Asia and the Pacific, and for AAPI
communities in the U.S.
Moon-Ho Jung

Historian Moon-Ho Jung (University of Washington) will address U.S. empire
building in Asia and the Pacific from the Philippine-American War to World
War II. He will especially highlight anti-colonial solidarity movements in
Asian, Pacific Islander, and Asian American communities and the repressive
responses from the U.S. state, arguing that these attempts to repress
pan-Asian revolutionary movements helped produce the U.S. national security
state as we know it, along with current U.S. anti-Asian racism.

Asian American studies and cultural studies scholar Nerissa S. Balce (SUNY
Stony Brook) will consider questions of cultural production and the
afterlives of U.S. empire in the Philippines, with a focus on the
Philippine police state and its most recent manifestations, including the
Duterte drug war and the harassment of Filipino activists.
Brian Hioe

Taipei-based writer, editor, and activist Brian Hioe will address the
paradoxes of U.S. empire for Taiwan in the context of escalating Sino-U.S.
tensions, and the enduring challenges for Taiwanese people caught between
the hegemonic forces of the U.S. and the People’s Republic of China.
Sigrid Schmalzer

The panel will be moderated by Sigrid Schmalzer, a founding member of the
Critical China Scholars and a professor of modern Chinese history in the
UMass Amherst History Department.
