Abstract

The article "The Ghosts of Bud Dajo: How an American Massacre Shaped the Philippines" by Kim A. Wagner in Foreign Affairs recounts the brutal events of the 1906 massacre at Bud Dajo in the Philippines by American troops. The massacre of up to 1,000 men, women, and children was not an isolated incident but part of a pattern of U.S. atrocities in its colonial history. The legacy of this massacre continues to impact the Philippines, contributing to ongoing tensions between Moros and the Philippine state, as well as shaping the country's postcolonial history.
