| 520 | ▼a "Concrete Colonialism is a history of the US colonial project in the Philippines told through the lens of reinforced concrete construction. Though still a new technology in the early twentieth century, the US colonial government used it to the virtual exclusion of all other building materials. Drawing on archives of colonial papers, government reports, industry periodicals, and other historical accounts, Diana Jean S. Martinez demonstrates and teases out the complexities of the American Empire and its relationship to the rest of the world. Concrete's double meaning, it being both a construction tool and a descriptor of actuality and solidity, maps onto the colonial practices enacted in the Philippines, a form of colonialism intended to be durable and capable of outlasting a legally defined colonial sovereignty. Situating the Philippines within the transformative processes of globalization, Martinez considers the annexation of the archipelago as part of an American civilizing mission, a goal influenced and supported by the environmental imperviousness and long-lasting nature of concrete"--Provided by publisher. | |

책소개
During US colonial rule in the Philippines, reinforced concrete was used to the near exclusion of all other building materials. In Concrete Colonialism, Diana Jean S. Martinez examines the motivations for and lasting effects of this forgotten colonial policy. Arguing that the pervasive use of reinforced concrete technologies revolutionized techniques of imperial conquest, Martinez shows how concrete reshaped colonialism as a project that sought durable change through the reformation of environments, colonial society, and racialized biologies. Martinez locates the origins of this material revolution in the development of Chicago, highlighting how building this urban center atop exceptionally challenging geology made it possible to transform diverse global ecologies. She details how the material's stability, plasticity, strength, and other qualities served the shifting imperatives of the US colonial regime, playing a central role in defending territory, controlling disease, and the construction of monuments to nation and empire. By describing a world irreversibly remade, Martinez urges readers to consider how colonialism persists--in concrete forms--despite claims of its conclusion.
