From Colonial Cargo to Global Containers narrates an episodic historical geography of the Port of Manila. The dissertation examines a series of key moments that transformed the port's social and built environments: the onset and early years of American colonialism (1898-1905), the first five years of Philippine independence (1946-1950), and politically significant moments of harbor-side history prior to the declaration of Martial Law in the Philippines (1954-1972). Ethnographic vignettes and interviews with Manila's cargo truck drivers bookend the project's historical chapters and archival work. The dissertation's analysis of decades of Philippine political change remains bounded by its geographic focus on political, social, and labor histories as they unfold mostly on and around the city's wharves and piers.Across these eras, the research examines events in which the port and its stevedores and longshoremen were thrust into the national and international political spotlight. Manila's docks featured prominently in the scenes of early American empire, local and global anti-communism from 1946-1950, and national trade union and electoral politics in the decades that followed. In each of these episodes, the management and control of port space and labor aimed to secure far more than the smooth flow of imports and exports. Thus, the dissertation aims to understand the port as not simply a bustling node of trade but rather a political space where power is historically secured, reproduced, contested, and resisted. More broadly, the research attests to the importance of critical geographic studies of particular landscapes and socio-spatial change over time.
