Abstract

Description

This interview, conducted by students in Professor Kim Compoc’s Fall 2024 Humanities 300 course at the University of Hawaiʻi – West Oʻahu, explores Professor Compoc’s research on U.S. imperialism, Filipino American identity, and military ethics. She reflects on her 2016 Amerasia Journal interview with Major General Antonio Taguba, a high-ranking Filipino American officer known for his report on the Abu Ghraib prison abuses. Professor Compoc discusses the complexities of interviewing a military figure while maintaining an anti-imperialist scholarly stance, her own family’s military background, and the intersection of Hawaiian and Filipino experiences in the context of U.S. occupation. The conversation also delves into the ethics of military service, the impact of propaganda on Filipino American identity, and the challenges of discussing decolonization and demilitarization in academic and public discourse.
