| Descripción decolonial |
A view of the Central Highway, showcasing the foundation of the road winding through a mountain pass, aligns with the historical context of American military interventions from 1898 into the early twentieth century, particularly in newly acquired US colonies like Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. Roads, as depicted in the image, were instrumental tools for imperial power, employed strategically to mold state formation and catalyze capitalist transitions in these regions. Despite variations in geography, the infrastructure of the American highway signifies a shared political-economic logic of state centralization and capital accumulation within the broader framework of US empire.
