Wartime advertising with graphic images show how companies capitalized on the public's interest in the wars and imperial ideology.
Derived from the Tagalog word bundok, meaning mountain, boondocks became part of American vocabulary during the Philippine American War. Mountainous terrain offered refuge and strategic advantages to Filipinos fighting for their countrys independence, and patrolling the boondocks became a common task for the U.S. military as it sought to eliminate resistance to U.S. rule. The boondocks were a contested terrain. They were bases of resistance. In American usage the word means hinterland, back country, or a remote and underdeveloped area. |
