Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

At this late date, any author who puts “race” and “empire” in the title of a book on the United States and the Philippines has some explaining to do. These twin constructs have rarely been separated since their conjoining, in the U.S.-Philippine context, in 1898, and they have figured centrally in nearly every academic work on the subject for the last quarter century. The jaded reader may be forgiven for wondering what more can profitably be said about them. Paul Kramer does indeed explain, at great length. He presents what he calls a “transnational history of race and empire in Philippine-American colonial encounters of the early twentieth century.” So far, so straightforward. Things get a bit more complex when he elaborates: “It is, on the one hand, a history of the racial politics of empire, of the way in which hierarchies of difference were generated and mobilized in order to legitimate and to organize invasion, conquest, and colonial administration. … It is, on the other hand, a history of the imperial politics of race, of the way that empire-building interacted with, and transformed, the process of racial formation” (pp. 2–3).

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
