This dissertation investigates the curious civil status assigned to Filipino migrants in the American empire in order to raise questions about citizenship and immigration, colonization and nationhood, and the U.S. in the world. Filipinos' status of noncitizen "American nationals" emerged when the U.S. began to establish an overseas empire, and it provided Americans a means of incorporating the residents of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam into the United States while simultaneously denying them access to the body politic. Focusing on the years from 1900 to 1946, this study examines the meanings of noncitizen national status---and the experiences of those who bore it---by focusing on the rights and liberties that Filipinos enjoyed, the obligations they assumed, and their campaigns for rights, dignity, and an end to U.S. colonization of the Philippines.

520 $a This dissertation investigates the curious civil status assigned to Filipino migrants in the American empire in order to raise questions about citizenship and immigration, colonization and nationhood, and the U.S. in the world. Filipinos' status of noncitizen "American nationals" emerged when the U.S. began to establish an overseas empire, and it provided Americans a means of incorporating the residents of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam into the United States while simultaneously denying them access to the body politic. Focusing on the years from 1900 to 1946, this study examines the meanings of noncitizen national status---and the experiences of those who bore it---by focusing on the rights and liberties that Filipinos enjoyed, the obligations they assumed, and their campaigns for rights, dignity, and an end to U.S. colonization of the Philippines.
520 $a My analysis, which weaves together grand and intimate stories, relies on congressional and court records, community newspapers, oral histories, personal memoirs, immigration case files, and other archived materials. I situate the status of noncitizen American national among forms of unequal citizenship traditionally accorded to minority and to women citizens in U.S. history. I reach beyond domestic histories of the United States by showing how Filipinos' civil status was connected not only to racialization and sex-gender assumptions in the U.S. but also to American political and economic interests in the Pacific. Thus, this study investigates the colonial civil standing of noncitizen nationals as well as Filipinos' campaigns for rights, liberties, and independence within the crucible of the Pacific, a region in which the United States struggled for power and influence while locals worked to realize their own notions of home, work, and nation.
520 $a This study offers valuable insights into the new civic relationships invented by a liberal democratic government as it emerged as an imperial power, and, thus, it speaks to the legacy of empire. During an era in which Americans and their government are invested in free-trade zones, war zones, U.S. protectorates, and detention camps, the thorny issues of non-citizenship raised by this study will remain a pressing concern.
