| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study is to critically examine the interplay between U.S. colonial projects in the Philippines, mediated by the Filipino elite, and the masses as the colonial subjects, through the analysis of the multiple meanings of tolerance. As a result, it can be concluded that the elite, who were politically empowered and intellectually inspired by the U.S. colonial ideology, forced the masses to be more obedient subjects than ever. In other words, it suggests that colonial rule can't be simply reduced to a binary opposition between the ruling and the ruled. Rather, the intermediary between the ruling and the ruled may play a tremendous role in re/shaping the nature of colonial power relation in the Philippines.
