This book draws on portraiture and visual culture to provide fresh perspectives on this crucial yet underappreciated period in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTaína Caragol and Kate Clarke Lemay tell the story of 1898 by bringing together portraits of U.S. figures who favoured overseas expansion, such as William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, with those of leading figures who resisted colonisation, including Eugenio María de Hostos of Puerto Rico; José Martí of Cuba; Felipe Agoncillo of the Philippines; Padre José Bernardo Palomo of Guam; and Queen Lili'uokalani of Hawai'i. Throughout the book, Caragol and Lemay also look at landscapes, naval scenes, and ephemera. They consider works of art by important period artists Winslow Homer and Armando Menocal as well as contemporary artists such as Maia Cruz Palileo, Stephanie Syjuco, and Miguel Luciano. Paul A. Kramer's essay addresses the role of the Smithsonian Institution in supporting imperialism, and texts by Jorge Duany, Theodore S. Gonzalves, Kristin L. Hoganson, Healoha Johnston, and Neil Weare offer critical perspectives by experts with close personal or scholarly relations to the island regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeautifully illustrated, \u003cem\u003e1898: Visual Culture and U.S. Imperialism in the Caribbean and the Pacific\u003c\/em\u003e challenges us to reconsider the Spanish-American War, the Philippine-American War, and the annexation of Hawai'i while shedding needed light on the lasting impacts of U.S. imperialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in association with the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC\u003cbr\u003e April 28, 2023–February 25, 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460048208108,"sku":"9780691246208","price":105.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780691246208-1898.jpg?v=1774943061"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/kate-clarke-lemay.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
