UMass Amherst's 'Confronting Empire' series discusses the long history of US colonialism in Asia and the Pacific

The idea of the United States as an empire isn’t new, but seems to be sweeping academics and changing the way American history is discussed in college classrooms. This idea was discussed in the context of the relationship between the U.S. and the Asia-Pacific region on Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2022, when the University of Massachusetts Amherst presented “U.S. Empire in Asia and the Pacific: Repression and Resistance” as a part of the “Confronting Empire: The 2022-2023 Feinberg Family Distinguished Lecture Series.”

Imperialism has had roots in the United States since the beginning of the nation’s history and has produced direct consequences for the rest of the world. This was highlighted in a keynote on “The Imperialist Roots of the U.S.A.” on Oct. 3, 2022, as part of the “Confronting Empire: The 2022-2023 Feinberg Family Distinguished Lecture Series” at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. This lecture was presented by Manu Karuka, an assistant professor of American studies at Barnard College. Karuka discussed his work on the United States’ imperialist ties with the international community and how it has affected current global issues.
