Published in late October 2023, the book “Bounden Duty: Wars, Schools, and Empire in the Philippines,” chronicles the struggles and triumphs of American educators, collectively known as “The Thomasites” who ventured on a historic voyage aboard the USAT Thomas in 1901 from San Francisco to educate and build schools across the Philippine archipelago. Author Kate Baker reminds the reader of the intertwined histories of the two countries in the most intimate of circumstances.
