Status Updates From How to Hide an Empire: A Hi...

Goodreads includes the notes and such when marking this. I have actually read 50% if not 51-55% of the book so far. It’s a enticing read that argues its case far better than the caste. The writing is easy to get through especially if you’re an avid history buff. I recommend it so far if someone wants to get a basic understanding of the territories of America.

Cuban constitution for over 30 years included a clause that allowed the US to invade!! (Obviously included under duress and threat of ongoing US occupation!!)

Crazy that Harry Truman almost got assassinated by Puerto Rican Nationalists and nobody talks about it!!

The fact that US soldiers were calling Filipinos the n-word during the Filipino-American War is insane but also makes perfect sense since their actions are only justifiable through the eye of white supremacy. Also there was one Black American soldier who literally left the US army to join the Filipinos!!
