芒鈧揂ntonio Taguba, Filipino Americanism, and the Critique of Torture"
November 16, 12:00pm - 1:15pmMānoa Campus, Kuykendall 409A
Co-sponsored by the Dept. of Ethnic Studies
Army Major General Antonio Taguba芒鈧劉s 2004 declassified report on U.S. torture at Abu Ghraib remains one of the most damning expos脙漏s of U.S. military human rights violations ever published. In this talk, I attend to the multiple historical resonances with those Filipino bodies of a previous forgotten war who were also subject to torture methods like the water cure (now called 芒鈧搘aterboarding芒鈧). I argue that Taguba芒鈧劉s ongoing critique of torture and U.S. wars in the Middle East have helped to redefine what speech is politically possible by a patriotic Filipino American from Hawai脢禄i, a political subjectivity demarcated by an unique 芒鈧揹ouble exposure芒鈧 to hegemonic notions of U.S. benevolence and rescue.
