Symbolic Value

This chapter reveals the colonial dimension of Franco’s social state. Spain’s African colonies were geographically tiny, but were of extraordinary symbolic value for the Franco regime. Despite the brutality and neglect which characterized Spanish colonial rule, it sought to promote Francoist Spain as a responsible European colonial power committed to African development. Social experts were at the heart of this process. Their professional training and research in the fields of colonial and tropical medicine brought them into contact with international networks of European and North American colleagues. This chapter explores the international and inter-imperial dimensions of Spanish colonial health, charting both its ambitions and its failures. In doing so, it sheds new light on the entangled histories of international and colonial health, and of imperialism and internationalism more generally.

The Government

In the nineteenth century the British, Dutch, French and Russians bit deep into the Islamic world. European colonial power rested on the active support of Moslem rulers who, as leaders of clearly defined and hierarchical societies possessed of laws and monarchs, were attractive collaborators in the exercise of imperialism. With a pragmatism born of frontier experience, Europeans reached agreements with Islamic regimes throughout Asia and Africa. The dictum of Usuman dan Fodio — “The government of a country is the government of its king. If the king is Moslem, his land is Moslem” — was echoed in many a European statement on the principles and practices of colonial rule. The British, for their part, struck deals with Indian princes and Fulani emirs, with the Egyptian Khedive and the Sultan of Zanzibar, with the royal houses of the Arab world and the rulers of the Malay states.

Professional workers in the field of mental retardation and interested lay persons have been aware of the gulf that has existed between institutions for the mentally retarded and colleges and universities. In the past 5 or 6 years there has been a resurgence of interest in the problems of mental retardation in almost all professional groups. As part of this resurgence, the American Association on Mental Deficiency Project on Technical Planning in Mental Retardation was established with headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. At the recommendation of the Advisory Council it was felt that a study should be made to find out more about this traditional gulf or cleavage that is said to exist between the "ivory tower" and the "brick tower." This monograph is a report of this study. It has also been the aim of this study to promote more effective working relations and to stimulate more complete programs of professional training and research in mental retardation.

The Subject

Between 1939 and 1945 several Hollywood studios produced significant films set in the war-torn Philippines, including Bataan (MGM, 1943), So Proudly We Hail (Paramount, 1943),and Back to Bataan (RKO,1943). Although these films immediately preceded Philippines independence in 1946, they do not position the Philippines as a soon-to-be autonomous nation. Instead, these films reaffirm, and even celebrate, the unequal colonial power relationship that marked the history of U.S. occupation of the archipelago. A careful reading of these films, which is the subject of this article, reveals the stamina of this colonial ideology (colonial uplift, tutelage, and nation-building) that legitimized U.S. colonial rule in the Phillapines and dates back to the turn of the century. What the perpetuation of this ideology suggests is the postwar neocolonial relationship between the two nations that U.S. government officials anticipated. This revised neocolonial ideology is expressed through the racialized and gendered images of Filipino characters and their interaction with U.S. American characters. The U.S. government attempted to control such images as part of its wartime propaganda, but had to rely on the voluntary compliance of the major Hollywood studios. While the Filipinos in films like Back to Bataan, made at the war's end, appear to challenge the racist stereotypes of prior films, they are re-inscribed by a neocolonial form of U.S. supremacy—— framed as wartime U.S. guidance and Filipino dependency.

Historical Literature

This article covers Spanish South America, particularly the Andean core of the empire but also a surprisingly rich historical literature on the River Plate, long a marginal corner of the Spanish Empire. The relative lack of surviving documents written in Quechua or other South American indigenous languages has prevented the development of a philological historiography analogous to that of New Spain. But increasingly informed by the work of archeologists, anthropologists, and ethnographers, historians of colonial South America have also revealed the remarkable endurance of native social, cultural, and even political practices during three centuries of Spanish colonial rule.

The City

Abstract César Falliet's trans-imperial biography sheds light on the dynamics of belonging in early modern Manila, a city that was both a cosmopolitan centre of trade and a stronghold of Spanish colonial power. Falliet's integration into Manila's social world depended on his ability to convince elites that he was Catholic, loyal to the Spanish king and useful to his empire; attributes that he proved by fighting Islamic and Protestant pirates. These credentials were ultimately tested in five theatres: Manila, Batavia, India, the Americas and the Sulu Zone. Manila's inter-Asian and transpacific ties profoundly shaped foreigners’ lives in the city.

The popular interpretations of the end of Spanish colonial rule in Negros Occidental, Philippines, are closely intertwined with Masonic-related imageries that suffused the colony's export-oriented economy in general and the province's sugar industry in particular. Through an investigation of folklore as a bearer of historical consciousness, it is argued that the elite-led one-day uprising that led to Spain's downfall in the province contained a mythical dimension that helped solidify the dominance of the local sugar planter class.

In her introduction, the author notes that the document published refers to the Indian uprisings in Chiapas in the eighteenth century. In the Tzeltal rebellions of 1712 and 1727, the Indians replaced the conquerors' Virgin of Patronage with the Indian Virgin of Cancuc as a symbol unifying them against the Spaniards. The movement was crushed in six months. In 1727, another rebellion was organized under the same Virgin of Cancuc, but it was also put down. The document, dated 1743, is evidence that the same problems continued, for in it is noted that prints of the Virgin of Cancuc had been distributed in Chiapas and Tabasco. A text at the foot of the image, written in French and Dutch, refers to the political principles of the Indians in 1712 and 1727. The authorities urge that the prints be confiscated, and denounced the participation of foreign countries in the movement that is aimed at undermining Spanish colonial power.

This chapter reflects on some of the implications of globalization for identity regulation, with specific reference to the multinational enterprise (MNE). The chapter first elaborates on the MNE as an organization and shows how globalization in this corporate context results in identity regulation being stretched across nations and, in turn, mediated by country-specific discourses and institutions. The chapter then situates such processes in the wider political-economic context of (neo)colonialism. It shows how MNEs have been, until recently, mostly headquartered in the ‘West’ and how a growing proportion of their work is performed in countries that were once under colonial rule and which remain, to varying degrees, subject to (neo)colonial influences. In this context, identity regulation becomes enmeshed with not only national discourses/institutions but also (neo)colonial power relations. The chapter concludes with a call to integrate globalization—and by implication (multi)nationalism and (neo)colonialism—into the research agenda of identities-focused organization studies and suggests some avenues for future research.
