Focusing on the intersection of sport and colonialism, this interdisciplinary study explores how athletic activities were leveraged by American authorities during the occupation of the Philippines to further their political and social objectives. It delves into the connections between sport and various societal factors such as race and religion, and posits that these strategies have persisted in shaping U.S. foreign policy over time.
