论美国对菲律宾南部摩洛人的殖民统治

美国对菲律宾南部摩洛人的殖民统治对当代摩洛的分离主义运动产生了重要和深刻的影响.美国的殖民统治是逐渐演变和发展的,每个阶段都有其特点.美国利用摩洛大督们对地方权力的控制和影响,实施其统治.大督们也依靠美国殖民政府,加强其自身对当地经济和政治的控制.选择合作还是对抗,是由菲律宾殖民地政治形势的变动和大督们自身实力的消长变化决定的.有时候合作与对抗之间的界限是模糊的.美国殖民统治最终实现了行政上北部天主教地区和南部穆斯林地区的整合,但没有消除西班牙时期留下的北部天主教徒和南部摩洛人之间的偏见和敌对,为后来摩洛人的分离主义运动埋下了伏笔.

The American Colonial Rule on Moro in Southern Philippines

The modern Moro separatism is deeply influenced by American colonial rule on Moro in Southern Philippines.The then American rule underwent several characteristic stages with gradual and consistent adjustment.American colonizers made use of Datus to practice their administration over the area.Meanwhile,Datus grew stronger,economically and politically,on their domain with the help of American colonizers.In that period,Datus dangled between two choices-cooperation with or rebellion against American colonizers.Their final choices usually depended on their power and the then political situation in Philippines.Sometimes,the division between cooperation and resistance is vague and blurring.The American colonizers finally unified Moro and Christian Filipinos under their administration,but did not eliminate their mutual prejudice and hostility,which laid groundwork for today's modern Moro separatism.
