ABSTRACT : This article compares colonial representations of the Philippines and Puerto Rico from an 1899 travelogue entitled Our Islands and their people, commissioned by the U.S. military, with representations of these islands made by today's Lonely Planet travel guides. The similiraties between the 1899 representations and today's suggest the comparable aims of colonialism and tourism : to encourage the consumption of these islands by foreigners.The article goes on to explore how two novels, Jessica Hagedorns Dog eaters and Esmeralda Santiago's America's Dream, represent Philippine and Puerto Rico local perspectives of tourists to challenge the colonial tourist representations. 56
