Two Images of a Bontoc Igorot Man
Description
These images represent one justification for “Manifest Destiny” and the US’s colonization of the Philippines. The transition of the barefoot boy on the left to the respectable doctor on the right romanticized the “civilizing” impact of colonial expansion without regard for the loss of indigeneity.
