- Title
The Geopolitics of Passing in Carlos Bulosan's All the Conspirators.
- Authors
Van To, Sydney
- Abstract
Carlos Bulosan's mid--twentieth-century noir novella All the Conspirators stages a conflict between guerrillas and collaborators in the postwar Philippines, illustrating a "geopolitics of passing" that examines the triangulation of borders through acts of racial, ideological, and imperial passing . Through the trope of passing, the transgression and eventual reconstitution of these borders is shown to be an alibi for the expansion of U .S . empire.
