Resumo

One of the most startling phenomena of recent Philippine history has been the development of a popular movement calling for the relinquishing of Philippine sovereignty and for political re-union with the U.S. as the 51st state. Although the “statehood movement” was understandably treated as something of a joke when it first surfaced several years ago, its popular reception and rapid growth, especially in the face of surging Phlippine nationalist and anti-imperialist sentiments, demands that the movement and the ideology which it represents be carefully analyzed.
