- This chapter discusses the so-called Good Treatment Thesis in relation to slavery in the Sulu Sultanate, southern Philippines, during the first years of the American colonial period from 1899. Up until 1902, virtually all official assessments of Sulu slavery emphasized its mild and benign character, but the perception changed abruptly in the middle of 1902. This was because of greater American understanding of Sulu society, including non-elite perspectives; the increased push for economic and social reform in the southern Philippines after the end of the Philippine–American War; and the formal abolition of slavery in the Philippines by the United States Congress in July 1902.

Civilizing Pirates : Nineteenth Century British Ideas about Piracy, Race and Civilization in the Malay Archipelago
- 2018
-
In: HumaNetten. - Växjö : Linnéuniversitetet. - 1403-2279. ; :41, s. 25-45
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article investigates how British officials and observers of the Malay Archipelago in the nineteenth century explained the prevalence of piracy in the region, particularly in terms of race and civilization. The writings by, among others, Thomas Stamford Raffles, John Crawfurd, James Brooke and Peter Benson Maxwell on contemporary Malay piracy are analysed. Whereas there was broad agreement among these observers that the alleged lack of civilization on the part of the Malays was a major reason for the prevalence of piracy in the region, there was considerable disagreement about the Malays’ capacity for civilizational progress and improvement. The degree to which the Malays were deemed capable of civilization in turn influenced the policies and measures implemented by the British to suppress piracy, ranging from the promotion of free trade to the wholesale extermination of entire villages and communities of suspected pirates. Criticism from humanitarians and liberals in London against the brutality of the latter tactics, however, led to a more restrained British deployment of violence in the Malay Archipelago from the middle of the nineteenth century.
