Daniel Immerwahr: How to Hide an Empire

Hear historian Daniel Immerwahr, Associate Professor of History, Northwestern University, talk about what happens to U.S. history when we include the territories (Philippines, Puerto Rico, Hawai'i) as part of the story.
We are familiar with maps that outline all fifty states. And we are also familiar with the idea that the United States is an “empire,” exercising power around the world. But what about the actual territories—the islands, atolls, and archipelagos—this country has governed and inhabited?
Immerwahr, author of How to Hide an Empire, tells the fascinating story of the United States outside the United States.

Recorded 4/23/19 at Kane Hall, University of Washington
