| Summary | "The Great White Tribe in Filipinia" by Paul T. Gilbert is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative captures the author's personal impressions and experiences in the Philippines, focusing on the cultural and social dynamics between the American expatriates and the native populations across the archipelago. The book offers a vivid exploration of colonial life, detailing both the unique customs of various local tribes and the contrasts with Western influences. At the start of the book, Gilbert introduces the vibrant milieu of Manila as he arrives on a transport ship, setting the scene for his observations of life in the city and the wider islands of the Philippines. He vividly describes his first impressions, including the chaotic environment of the port where locals engage in daily activities and the historical significance of Manila Bay. The author also touches on the blending of cultures and customs, highlighting the local people, their attire, their markets, and the signs of colonial presence, offering readers a snapshot of a place caught between tradition and modernization.
