Orphans of the Pacific: The Philippines by Florence Horn
Hurry up, only 4 items left in stock.
Journalist Florence Horn surveys the Philippines on the eve of World War II, moving through the archipelago's economic pillars of sugar, hemp, coconut oil, and mining alongside its diverse peoples, from the Igorot and Moro communities to the Chinese and mestizo populations shaping its politics and commerce. The title's metaphor points to the uncertain position of the Commonwealth-era Philippines, caught between American tutelage, the promise of independence, and growing Japanese ambitions in the Pacific, with figures like Manuel Quezon and Sergio Osmeña central to her account. Reynal & Hitchcock published the book in New York in 1941.
