Empire's entrails and the imperial geography of “Amerasia”

Abstract

Most criticism of American imperialism is founded on theories that take European expansion as their paradigm. Here David Haekwon Kim examines aspects of distinctly American imperialism, specifically urban anticipations of US overseas expansion, the codification of imperial dominion in structures of US foreign diplomacy and the prophetic geography of US domination extending from “Amerasia” to Eurasia. First, Kim offers some stage‐setting through a preliminary account of imperialism cast in the vocabulary of leftliberal theory but compatible with some more radical analytic frameworks. Secondly, he discusses the converging premonitions of American empire experienced by José Martí during his exile in New York City and by José Rizal during his sojourn to San Francisco. Kim concludes by using these considerations to generate a geographic portrait of American dominion in Latin America, the Pacific, Asia and then finally Europe's Orient.
