Abstract: | In Crip Colony, Sony Coranez Bolton examines the racial politics of disability, mestizaje, and sexuality in the Philippines. Drawing on literature, poetry, colonial records, political essays, travel narratives, and visual culture, Coranez Bolton traces how disability politics colluded with notions of Philippine mestizaje. He demonstrates that Filipino mestizo writers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries used mestizaje as a racial ideology of ability that marked Indigenous inhabitants of the Philippines as lacking in civilization and in need of uplift and rehabilitation. Heteronormative, able-bodied, and able-minded mixed-race Filipinos offered a model and path for assimilation into the US empire. In this way, mestizaje allowed for supposedly superior mixed-race subjects to govern the archipelago in collusion with American imperialism. By bringing disability studies together with studies of colonialism and queer-of-color critique, Coranez Bolton extends theorizations of mestizaje beyond the United States and Latin America while considering how Filipinx and Filipinx American thought fundamentally enhances understandings of the colonial body and the racial histories of disability |
| "Crip Colony is an interdisciplinary analysis of the racial politics of disability, mestizaje, and sexuality in the Philippines. Sony Coráñez Bolton reads across language archives and overlapping Spanish and US imperialisms, drawing on colonial records, visual culture, poetry, presidential speeches, travel narratives, and political essays, in addition to the famous Spanish-language Filipino novel Noli Me Tangere. Through these texts he shows how these imperial and racial regimes were also regimes of ability. Expanding traditional engagements with mestizaje, Coráñez Bolton examines the ways that Filipinx mestizaje became a eugenic framework which identified native Filipino subjects as inherently disabled, in need of reform and rehabilitation, and mixed-race Filipinos as able to offer a form of "benevolent rehabilitation" which would prepare these deficient natives for assimilation into the US empire. Through this crip critique of coloniality, Coráñez Bolton shows how mestizaje allowed for "superior" mixed-race subjects to govern the archipelago in collusion with imperial processes of dispossession and debilitation"-- |
