The author brings enriching mementoes from pictorial images of the Filipino freedom struggle as well as appropriate reminders of the numerous encounters, interactions, and exchanges between Filipinos and Australians that have contributed to the making of mutually-enriching Filipino-Australian relations. The Brown Americans of Asia is an informative source for both Filipinos and foreigners who seek to understand the Filipino personality as a product of East-West synthesis and the dilemma of identity that often finds eloquent demonstration or expression in the admirable Filipino resiliency, a quality that has enabled the Filipino to survive, innovate, and persevere wherever he finds himself. In a sense, it is this resiliency that has enabled overseas Filipinos (like the author) to find harmony between contrasting cultural imperatives and fulfil aspirations and dreams without losing their being Filipino, without breaking their deals and attachment to native land." SAMUEL K. TAN, Ph.D. Chairman, National Historical Institute Manila, Philippines The author is a Sydney-based Filipino historian. Educated in the Philippines and Australia, he has worked as historian, curator, teacher, translator and cultural heritage consultant. In Sydney he works as an archivist and translator and continues his researches into Filipino history and culture.
