The Mindanao settlement of the early twentieth century was dogged by an unresolved issue: the number of Christians lured there by a state-sponsored resettlement program, which undermined privately led migration on public lands. This paper, on the development of the Homeseekers Program (1918–39), explores how the formation of a Christian Filipino settler colony in Cotabato, Mindanao, was intertwined with its self-governing capacity, demonstrated by settlers and the local government. Settler colonialism is the research framework for situating this overlooked element within the colonial pattern stemming from a fluid, multifaceted political situation. During the early American colonial period, Christians moved to Mindanao and built homes for themselves. Among them were agriculturists and educated young professionals who worked as teachers and government officials. Their arrival, essential for establishing colonial governance through public order, infrastructure building, and public health and education systems, contributed greatly to creating a settler colonial space independent from the central government and detrimental to indigenous people. Given the disorganized nature of the settlement process, however, land grabbing and squatting on public lands were common in the 1930s. This analysis demonstrates that the Christian settler colony materialized as a logical outcome of Filipino settler colonialism, leading to subtle, solid colonial governance.

Penelitian ini mengkaji kode kultural di musik video `This Land` dan kaitannya dengan sejarah diskriminasi, penindasan, dan kekerasan rasial di Amerika menggunakan teori semiotika Roland Barthes dan representasi Stuart Hall. Menggunakan kedua teori tersebut, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa video musik “This Land” menguak akar settler colonialism dalam ideologi supremasi kulit putih yang melegitimasikan sistem penindasan terhadap orang kulit hitam dan orang kulit berwarna. Dengan demikian, video musik ini merepresentasikan isu rasisme kontemporer sebagai sebuah sistem yang bertahan sepanjang sejarah dan tetap direpresentasikan melalui simbol-simbol. Terakhir, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa `This Land` mendekonstruksi ideologi supremasi kulit putih dan wacana rasisme yang diwakilkan melalui simbol-simbol tersebut.

This study examines the cultural codes linked to the history of racial discrimination, oppression, and violence in America in the music video of `This Land`, by applying Barthes` classification of codes and Hall`s theory of representation. The music video foregrounds American settler colonial roots of white supremacy ideology that legitimizes a system of oppression towards black people and colored people alike. As such, the music video represents racial issue in contemporary America as a system that persists throughout the history, and remains represented through symbols. Lastly, this study finds that “This Land” deconstructs and subverts the ideology of white supremacy and discourse of racism embodied in the symbols.
