Confrontations, Crossings, and Convergence: Photographs of the Philippines and the United States, 1898-1998

Confrontations, Crossings, and Convergence: Photographs of the Philippines and the United States, 1898-1998 is a book that was published in 1998 on the centennial of colonization of the Philippines by the United States of America, drastically changing its path toward independence.
It is somewhat of a precursor to The Forbidden Book: The Philippine American War in Political Cartoons, which was published in 2004.

Both of these books capture, through photos and images, the portrayal of the Philippines and Filipinos in history. They are both eye-opening and epiphany-causing.
