Więcej o książce

The book explores how US national identity has been shaped by its imperial territories through symbols like stamps, flags, and currency. These items carry both economic significance and cultural meaning, reflecting the complex relationships between the US and territories such as the Philippines and Puerto Rico. Akiboh illustrates how these objects have been reinterpreted by local populations, transforming their original intent and highlighting the ongoing awareness of imperial influence among residents, despite their often marginalization in federal discourse.
