I have put a paper I presented at last week's American Studies Association / Canadian Association for American Studies conference online: The Contested Public Memory of an American Icon: Mark Twain's Anti-Imperialist Writings http://www.accinet.net/~fjzwick/twain/contested.html It deals with how Twain's anti-imperialist writings were suppressed, selectively censored by Paine, debated during the Cold War, and revived as antiwar writings from the 1960s onward. It was part of a panel entitled "Battles After the War: Re-Visions of the Philippine-American War in Cultural Narratives of Race and Empire." The panel was chaired by Shelley Fisher Fishkin and also included the following papers: Nerissa S. Balce, "Public Images, Emergent Histories: Narrating Empire and Filipino American History" Jean Vengua Gier, "Incorporating Filipinos into the War Effort: The _Bataan_ Films" I hope to have these papers online later in the month. If anyone knows of additional examples of how Twain's anti-imperialist writings have been used after his death, I would be very interested in hearing about them. Thanks in advance.
