It is the story of loneliness and having to move restlessly beneath vast skies, of wanting to go home but can't, of having to strive, sisyphuys-like fora goalless, senseless purpose. It is the story of Juan, Pedro or Salvador whose fruits and vegetables, then and now, make salad bowls possible, growing it or serving it. It is the story of latter-day Juan, Pedro or Salvador taking a licensure examination in medicine or dentistry, and providing himself up to standard, by performance and excellence no less.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut more than just to tell a story of Salvador, this book was conceived to help the reader develop a sensitivity and understanding of the Pilipino American whose history, cultural heritage and ethnicity are blended and rooted with all the races; whose religions are linked with the rich mixture of Indo-Malayan-Chinese, Muslim, Hispanic Catholicism and of the American Protestantism of various denominations,a nd whose political-social-economic systems are based on colonilism and republican democracy, and later, \"constitutional authoritarian democracy\" as a result of the Martial Law of September 22, 1972 promulgated by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe letter \"P\" is interchangeably used for \"F\" in reference to \"Filipino.\" This is so because of the emergence of Pilipino American ethnic identity. Besides, leter \"F\" is totally non-existent in the Pilipino language. Makibaka basically means to struggle - one word that could best sum up the Pilipino American story. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Crown Printers; 2nd Revised Edition edition (January 1, 1998)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B004N3QFG8\u003cbr\u003eShipping Weight: 12 ounces","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39567419965606,"sku":"36","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/a9b893e53dad4675aeb3335f91923957.jpg?v=1616549630"},{"product_id":"many-journeys-many-voices-a-tribute-to-filipina-overseas-workers-by-edna-zapanta-manlapaz","title":"Many Journeys, Many Voices: A Tribute to Filipina Overseas Workers by Edna Zapanta Manlapaz","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eBy Edna Zapanta Manlapaz, Czarina Saloma and Yael A.

They include the CEO of a giant multinational corporation, an animal rights' crusader, a fictionist, a yoga teacher, an inner-city activists, a child care specialist, and an obstetrician-gynecologist.

The result, presented for the first time in this important study, is a unique and sometimes startling picture of the nation's ethnic makeup. From Many Strands focuses on each of the sixteen principal European ethnic groups, as well as on major non-European groups such as blacks and Hispanics. The authors describe differences and similarities across a range of dimensions, including regional distribution, income, marriage patterns, and education. While some findings lend support to the \"melting pot\" theory of assimilation (levels of educational attainment have become more comparable and ingroup marriage is declining), other findings suggest the persistence of pluralism (settlement patterns resist change and some current occupational patterns date from the turn of the century).In these contradictions, and in the striking number of respondents who report no ethnic background or report it incorrectly, Lieberson and Waters find evidence of considerable ethnic flux and uncover the growing presence of a new, \"unhyphenated American\" ethnic strand in the fabric of national life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries: The Population of the United States in the 1980s\u003cbr\u003ePaperback: 303 pages\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Russell Sage Foundation (October 2, 1990)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10: 087154527-6\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 978-08-7-154527-5\u003cbr\u003eProduct Dimensions: 6.5 x 1 x 9.5 inches\u003cbr\u003eShipping Weight: 1.2 pounds","brand":"Russell Sage Foundation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39567475638438,"sku":"SKU-271","price":68.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/48c19e7ed14f6b1af1565093ebbedfa6.jpg?v=1616550094"},{"product_id":"being-filipino-abroad-by-arlene-torres-dmello-ph-d","title":"Being Filipino Abroad by Arlene Torres-D'Mello, Ph.D.","description":"\"Someone remarked that \"a Filipino is a Filipino is a Filipino...\" That is, wherever he goes he takes with him his Filipino self and with it his mode of relationship.

Since the 1980s, the newly prosperous countries of East Asia have recruited foreign household workers at a rapidly increasing rate. Many come from the Philippines and Indonesia. Pei-Chia Lan interviewed and spent time with dozens of Filipina and Indonesian domestics working in and around Taipei as well as many of their Taiwanese employers. On the basis of the vivid ethnographic detail she collected, Lan provides a nuanced look at how boundaries between worker and employer are maintained and negotiated in private households. She also sheds light on the fate of the workers, “global Cinderellas” who seek an escape from poverty at home only to find themselves treated as disposable labor abroad.Lan demonstrates how economic disparities, immigration policies, race, ethnicity, and gender intersect in the relationship between the migrant workers and their Taiwanese employers. The employers are eager to flex their recently acquired financial muscle; many are first-generation career women as well as first-generation employers. The domestics are recruited from abroad as contract and “guest” workers; restrictive immigration policies prohibit them from seeking permanent residence or transferring from one employer to another. They care for Taiwanese families’ children, often having left their own behind. Throughout Global Cinderellas, Lan pays particular attention to how the women she studied identify themselves in relation to “others”—whether they be of different classes, nationalities, ethnicities, or education levels. In so doing, she offers a framework for thinking about how migrant workers and their employers understand themselves in the midst of dynamic transnational labor flows.“This path-breaking study illustrates how boundaries—of race, class, gender, and citizenship—are imposed on migrant domestic workers. Pei-Chia Lan’s use of boundary-making as the lens through which to analyze the integration of migrant domestic workers is a very important contribution to the burgeoning field of the feminization of migration. This is a brilliant book.”—Rhacel Salazar Parreñas, author of Children of Global Migration: Transnational Families and Gendered Woes“We might imagine that the more contact we have with others across the globe the closer our social bonds. But, as Pei-Chia Lan so ably shows, we would be sadly wrong about that. In some ways the madams of Taiwan are ‘close’ to their maids from the Philippines, but in other ways they are very distant from them. Indeed, in some cases the closer we are, the more distant. Just how this works out is the subject of this clearly written, trenchantly argued, hugely important, must-read book.”—Arlie Russell Hochschild, coeditor of Global Woman: Nannies, Maids, and Sex Workers in the New Economy“[T]he book is a major contribution to contemporary research in the relevant areas, including globalization. Its feminist outlook is radical, yet pays attention to the incredible difficulty for involved parties that are willing to undo the inequalities unfolding in the space of the private home. It may be used to compare other proliferating ‘maid economies’ in places like HongKong, Singapore, and the Gulf region.”(Ann Vogel Sociology)“This engaging and readable book shows how globalization affects urban spaces and household dynamics. It will interest students and scholars of Asian Studies, Women’s Studies, Globalization, Sociology, and Anthropology, particularly those studying the cultural construction of identity and the negotiation of interpersonal power.”(Michele Ruth Gamburd, Comparative Studies in Society and History)“This is a fine and challenging ethnographic project . . . .

In American Tropics, Isaac explores American fantasies about the Philippines and other “unincorporated” parts of the U.S. nation that obscure the contradictions of a democratic country possessing colonies. Isaac boldly examines the American empire’s images of the Philippines in turn-of-the-century legal debates over Puerto Rico, Progressive-era popular literature set in Latin American borderlands, and midcentury Hollywood cinema staged in Hawaii and the Pacific islands. Isaac scrutinizes media coverage of the Cunanan case, Boy Scout adventure novels, and Hollywood films such as The Real Glory (1939) and Blue Hawaii (1961) to argue that territorial sites of occupation are an important part of American identity. \u003cbr\u003eAmerican Tropics further reveals the imperial imagination’s role in shaping national meaning in novels such as Carlos Bulosan’s America Is in the Heart (1946) and Jessica Hagedorn’s Dogeaters (1990), Filipino American novels forced to articulate the empire’s enfolded but disavowed borders. Tracing the American empire from the beginning of the twentieth century to Philippine liberation and the U.S. civil rights movement, American Tropics lays bare Filipino Americans’ unique form of belonging marked indelibly by imperialism and at odds with U.S. racial politics and culture. Allan Punzalan Isaac is assistant professor of English at Wesleyan University.

For many, this external barrier caused by their skin color remains even when the children themselves know that, within themselves, they are already 'white.' In many cases, therefore, their need to have a sense of belonging makes them go back to their Filipino identity, be it only on the rebound. Furthermore, the children's covert or over rejection of their Filipino background is often a manifestation of their objection to the way parental authority is imposed on them. As a result, the situation has created a dilemma for some children who, in rejecting or wanting to reject their Filipino background, are also confronted by the reality that their Asian features do not give them a clear-cut entry to the group--the host country's dominant population group-they wish to be accepted into. \"On the whole, this study shows that many Filipino immigrant parents are not well-prepared or equipped to meet the needs their children have in growing up in another culture.

In Part Two, San Juan focuses on the materialist aesthetics of Louis Althusser and Pierre Macherey, examining their resonance in a Hemingway novel and in the poetry of Hugh MacDiarmid. In Part Three, the author conducts an appraisal of James Baldwin's worldview, the textualization of the Asian diaspora in the United States, and the interface between postmodern themes and \"postcolonial\" sensibilities. The ultimate project of the author is to envision the emergence of a new field called \"world cultural studies\" from a radical \"Third World\" perspective. The transition from Western \"hegemony\" to the transformative, oppositional inquiry of \"Others\" epitomizes the itinerary of San Juan's exploration of the discipline once called litterae humaniores but now reconceived as the praxis of critical transgressions.\" This book is a truly astonishing performance.

Going from the jungles of the wartime Philippines to the schoolyards of northwestern Oklahoma is no easy transition. For one twelve-year-old girl, it meant distance not only across the globe but also within her own family. Born to a Filipino father and an American mother, Helen Madamba experienced terrifying circumstances at a young age. During World War II, her father, Jorge, fought as an American soldier in his native Philippines, and his family camped in jungles and slept in caves for more than two years to evade capture by the Japanese. But once the family relocated to Woodward, Oklahoma, young Helen faced a different kind of struggle. Here Mossman tells of her efforts to repudiate her Asian roots so she could fit into American mainstream culture—and her later efforts to come to terms with her identity during the tumultuous 1960s. As she recounts her father’s wartime exploits and gains an appreciation of his life, she learns to rejoice in her biracial and multicultural heritage. Written with the skill of a gifted storyteller and graced with photos that capture both of Helen’s worlds, A Letter to My Father is a poignant story that will resonate with anyone familiar with the struggle to reconcile past and present identities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHelen Madamba Mossman is an award-winning journalist and former managing editor of the daily newspaper in Woodward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardcover: 184 pages\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: University of Oklahoma Press (April 15, 2008)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10: 080613909-9\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 978-08-0-613909-8\u003cbr\u003eProduct Dimensions: 5.5 x 0.8 x 8.5 inches\u003cbr\u003eShipping Weight: 8 ounces","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39567480029350,"sku":"SKU-294","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/14531cebfb2b620b1079d8bc8ebc34c7.jpg?v=1616550164"},{"product_id":"amadios-box-how-i-became-filipino-by-amadio-arboleda","title":"Amadio's Box- How I Became Filipino by Amadio Arboleda","description":"In Amadio's Box the author explores Filipino precepts and describes what he thinks are the qualities that distinguish him as a Filipino.

In this all-new collection of fascinating interviews with students, lawyers, engineers, politicians, stay-at-home moms, and activists, Joann Faung Jean Lee again draws upon her great skill and sensitivity as a journalist to reveal a rich mosaic of Asian American identities. We hear a range of voices: Dale Minami recounts his historic involvement in a landmark legal case that changed the way America understands the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II; Ruby Chow remembers how she used her position as a beloved restaurateur to launch a successful campaign for county councilwoman in Seattle, Washington; and Daniel Jung speaks of the complexities of African American and Korean relations in Los Angeles, where his father owned a liquor store when Daniel was a teenager in the 1990s.Candid and compelling, the interviews reveal intimate and often conflicting thoughts about Asian American identities, immigration, family, relationships, and educational and professional achievement. \u003cbr\u003eFrom Publishers Weekly Professor, journalist and educator Lee revisits the format of her 20-year-old oral history collection, Asian Americans, to bring 27 perspectives on the current state of the Asian American experience, \"distinct in many ways from that of Asians living either in Asia or as immigrants encountering diaspora elsewhere in the world.\" Several profiles stand out: Ruby Chow, the first Asian American elected to Washington State's King County Council, pops with personality, and her story includes a close relationship with future movie star Bruce Lee. Also interesting are the stories of musicians like ukulele player Jake Shimabukuro and \"Japanese Cowboy\" Hank Sasaki. Perhaps the most relevant and compelling subject is Gita Deane, a lesbian struggling to stay in America with her partner of 20 years and their two children. As suggested in the subtitle, Lee has cast a wide net and her book suffers from overcrowding, and a subsequent shortage of compelling material, but for those interested in the current moment of everyday Asian Americans, these voices will illuminate. From Booklist Published more than a decade after Lee’s Asian Americans (1992), this riveting collection of 27 new interviews shows some surprising changes across generations, especially in the wake of 9\/11 (could internment happen again?) and the effects of the Internet explosion. Both in those born here and in recent immigrants, the core issues are still strong: “you don’t know how much to give up and how much to keep,” says a first-generation Hmong. A Korean dad thinks he knows more, “but he doesn’t,” say his children educated here. But then there is the woman who wore jeans when she first came here as a kid from India but now wears South Asian clothes. Many still send money home, but, for some, life in modern China may be better than here. No rambling oral history, the personal voices are lively, detailed, tightly edited. With the raging debate about immigration, they talk about contemporary mainstream issues, too, including women’s rights, gay marriage, interracial adoption, and, always, the conflicts about assimilation and the meaning of cultural identity. --Hazel Rochman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoann Faung Jean Lee is the author of the oral histories Asian Americans and Asian Americans in the Twenty-first Century, both published by The New Press, and of Asian American Actors: Oral Histories from Stage, Screen, and Television.

This volume brings together these streams of inquiry and proposes a synthetic approach to examine various processes of migration and community formation on a global scale. The essays included in Asian Diasporas look at the worldwide dispersal of Asian populations through the lens of diaspora. They illustrate the underlying structures of inequality that create diasporic communities―the cultural barriers that impede belonging to the place they inhabit and the place they call \"homeland,\" the unequal processes that embody globalization, and the social inequalities in host and origin country alike. Five major themes connect and cut across the collection: the recognition of inter-Asian strife; the persistence of the nation state; the salience of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality; the forces of labor, colonialism, and globalization; and the centrality of culture.\"Rhacel Parrenas and Lok Siu have created an anthology that bridges diaspora, Asian and Asian American Studies.

Yet many Filipino Americans contend that years of formal and covert exclusion from mainstream political, social, and economic institutions of the basis of their race have perpetuated racist stereotypes about them, ignored their colonial and immigration history, and prevented them from becoming fully recognized citizens of the nation. Locating Filipino Americans shows how Filipino Americans counter exclusion by actively engaging in alternative practices of community building. Locating Filipino Americans, an ethnographic study of Filipino American communities in Los Angeles and San Diego, presents a multi-disciplinary cultural analysis of the relationship between ethnic identity and social space. Author Rick Bonus argues that alternative community spaces enable Filipino Americans to respond to and resist the ways in which the larger society has historically and institutionally rendered them invisible, silenced, and racialized. Bonus focuses on the \"Oriental\" stores, the social halls and community centers, and the community newspapers to demonstrate how ethnic identities are publicly constituted and communities are transformed. Delineating the spaces formed by diasporic consciousness, Bonus shows how community members appropriate elements from their former homeland and from their new settlements in ways defined by their critical stances against racism, homogenization, complete assimilation, and exclusionary citizenship. Locating Filipino Americans is one of the few books that offers a grounded approach to theoretical analyses of ethnicity and contemporary culture in the U.S. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Temple Press University (2000)\u003cbr\u003ePages: 248 pages\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 6 x 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoftbound ISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 978-15-6-639779-7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardbound ISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 978-15-6-639778-0","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardbound","offer_id":39567481045158,"sku":"SKU--303","price":76.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Softcover","offer_id":39567481077926,"sku":"SKU--303","price":33.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/b05d2ec017704fe0a42f3e55d5c78fda.jpg?v=1616550139"},{"product_id":"the-lost-tribe-of-coney-island-headhunters-luna-park-and-the-man-who-pulled-off-the-spectacle-of-the-century-by-claire-prentice","title":"The Lost Tribe of Coney Island: Headhunters, Luna Park, and the Man Who Pulled Off the Spectacle of the Century by Claire Prentice","description":"For the first time, The Lost Tribe of Coney Island unearths the incredible true story of the Igorrotes, a group of “headhunting, dog eating” tribespeople brought to America from the Philippines by the opportunistic showman Truman K. Hunt. At Luna Park, the g-string-clad Filipinos performed native dances and rituals before a wide-eyed public in a mocked-up tribal village. Millions of Americans flocked to see the tribespeople slaughter live dogs for their daily canine feasts and to hear thrilling tales of headhunting. The Igorrotes became a national sensation—they were written up in newspaper headlines, portrayed in cartoons, and even featured in advertising jingles, all fueled by Truman’s brilliant publicity stunts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the end of the summer season, the Igorrote show had made Truman a rich man.

It has also profoundly influenced the sense of nationhood of both migrants and non-migrants. Migrant workers learned to view their home country as part of a plural world of nations, and they shaped a new sort of Filipino identity while appropriating the modernity of the outside world, where at least for a while they operated as insiders. The global nomadism of Filipino workers brought about some fundamental reorientations.

The fourth-largest racialized minority group in the country, the Filipino community is frequently understood by such figures as the victimized nanny, the selfless nurse, and the gangster youth. On one hand, these narratives concentrate attention, in narrow and stereotypical ways, on critical issues. On the other, they render other problems facing Filipino communities invisible. This landmark book, the first wide-ranging edited collection on Filipinos in Canada, explores gender, migration and labour, youth spaces and subjectivities, representation and community resistance to certain representations. Looking at these from the vantage points of anthropology, cultural studies, education, geography, history, information science, literature, political science, sociology, and women and gender studies, Filipinos in Canada provides a strong foundation for future work in this area.

This author, Ray Burdeos, takes readers back to the day when complexion divided people rather than religious beliefs. Specifically this memoir highlights in 1955 when Burdeos first came to the United States from the Philippine islands to serve in the Coast Guard...Ethnicity challenged Burdeos. In 1955, many respectable people used 'the N word' to slur African-American. At school, teachers enlightened students about bigotry. One view was habitual, the other nascent... While African-Americans fought for civil rights, Filipinos watched expectantly. Gains by blacks became gains for all minorities... In one episode, when Burdeos was stationed at Gloucester City and was visiting his girlfriend in Philly, a police officer approached him, took him into the precinct and interrogated him; later the officer confirmed that the station had received a complaint from someone who didn't like the looks of a dark man visiting his white girl; most likely the report came from a neighbor. Naturally, the officer released Burdeos - had he committed the crime miscegenation?...Burdeos's unique voice, including his vernacular, adds authenticity to his narrative. His point is not the least bit harsh, but instead is steady and determined...It was a privilege to read this story.

San Juan","description":"As the largest contingent of Asian\/Pacific Islanders in the United States today, Filipinos have been described as “invisible,” “forgotten,” marginal “others,” and, on the whole, inconsequential. From Exile to Diaspora challenges these stereotypes. With the Philippines undergoing revolutionary transformation, the Filipino diaspora—about six million “overseas contract workers” scattered around the planet—is radically configuring the Filipino presence and potential for change in the U.S. Subsumed before in the category of immigrants, exiles, refugees, etc., Filipinos now claim a nationalitarian, uniquely political\/ethical identity removed from panethnic racializing generalities. Filipinos in their singular diversity are reassessing their colonial past and engaging in projects of popular-democratic resistance (of which this work is one) to the transnational system of global commodification.This book examines the received textbook dogmas about the Filipino community before World War II and after. It questions the claims about Filipino assimilation and acculturation, focusing on their encounter with “white supremacy” in various forms. Through analysis and interpretation of imaginative texts and other discursive practices, From Exile to Diaspora seeks to establish a new framework for charting Filipino agency within the constraints of late capitalism. It seeks to open up for laypersons and students of U.S. social history the question of racial justice and equality. San Juan hopes this book will serve as a guide to understanding the nuances of Filipino self-identification in the process of challenging the dominant polity's claim to pluralist and multicultural heterogeneity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eE.

Weaving together his lived realities, his family’s experiences, and empirical data, David reflects on a difficult journey, touching upon the importance of developing critical and painful consciousness, as well as the need for connectedness, strength, freedom, and love, in our personal and collective efforts to heal from the injuries of historical and contemporary oppression.

Vergara challenges rooted notions of colonialism here, addressing the immigrants' identities, connections and loyalties. Using the lens of transnationalism, he looks at the \"double lives\" of both recent and established Filipino Americans. Vergara explores how first-generation Pinoys experience homesickness precisely because Daly City is filled with reminders of their homeland's culture, like newspapers, shops and festivals. Vergara probes into the complicated, ambivalent feelings these immigrants have--toward the Philippines and the United States--and the conflicting obligations they have presented by belonging to a thriving community and yet possessing nostalgia for the homeland and people they left behind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublisher : Temple University Press (December 28, 2008)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: : English\u003cbr\u003ePages : 232 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardbound Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight : 14.7 ounces\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10 : 159213664-8\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13 : 978-15-9-213664-3\u003cbr\u003eDimensions : 6 x 0.8 x 9 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoftbound Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight : 11.2 ounces\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10 : 159213665-6\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13 : 978-15-9-213665-0\u003cbr\u003eDimensions : 6 x 0.6 x 9 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eC.E.","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardbound","offer_id":39567747252390,"sku":"SKU--1481","price":81.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Softbound","offer_id":39567747317926,"sku":"SKU--1481","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/082f0726be3c6e3882e577075e3d786d.jpg?v=1616552467"},{"product_id":"faith-family-and-filipino-american-community-life-by-stephen-m-cherry","title":"Faith, Family, and Filipino American Community Life by Stephen M.

This volume is the first detailed historical study of the major post-1965 immigration of Filipinos to the United States. It provides comprehensive coverage of the recent Filipino American experience, from the pivotal Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, under which most Filipinos entered this country, to their values and customs, economic and political status, organizational affiliations, and contemporary issues and problems. Students and interested readers will be rewarded with a rich portrayal of individual immigrants and their stories. Filipino Americans emigrated from a nation that has a special relationship with the United States, dating from 1898 to 1946, when the Philippines was a U.S. colony. After a brief account of Philippine history, The Filipino Americans introduces a diverse immigrant population, with accounts of students, sailors, war brides, and nurses who arrived before 1965. Legislation in 1965 encouraged immigration of professionals, predominantly physicians and nurses, and permitted them to bring relatives. Posadas shows how these new Americans attempted to retain Philippine values and customs amid American economic, political, and cultural life. Family issues discussed include education and the model minority, gangs, divorce, and aging in a different culture. In addition, future immigration is an important topic, as many kin are left behind. The final chapter on Filipino American identity has particular relevance with today's multicultural debates. Tables, photos, a glossary, and biographical profiles complement this outstanding look at these new Americans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10 : 031329742-8\u003cbr\u003eHardcover : 208 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13 : 978-03-1-329742-7\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight : 1.03 pounds\u003cbr\u003eDimensions : 6.14 x 0.5 x 9.21 inches\u003cbr\u003ePublisher : Greenwood (November 30, 1999)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: : English\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39567751381158,"sku":"SKU-1499","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/815ffee66ac7cffb21943c38a59ba02b.jpg?v=1616552500"},{"product_id":"encounters-people-of-asian-descent-in-the-americas-edited-by-rajini-srikanth","title":"Encounters: People of Asian Descent in the Americas Edited by Rajini Srikanth","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdited by Rajini Srikanth, Leny Mendoza Strobel and Roshni Rustomji-Kerns\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeople of Asian descent have lived for centuries in North and South America, where they have been actively involved in the creation of multicultural, multiethnic societies.

Joyce Zapanta Mariano","description":"Many Filipino Americans feel obligated to give charitably to their families, their communities, or social development projects and organizations back home. Their contributions provide relief to poor or vulnerable Filipinos, and address the forces that maintain poverty, vulnerability, and exploitative relationships in the Philippines. This philanthropy is a result of both economic globalization and the migration of Filipino professionals to the United States. But it is also central to the moral economies of Filipino migration, immigration, and diasporic return. Giving-related practices and concerns—and the bonds maintained through giving—infuse what it means to be Filipino in America. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiving Back shows how integral this system is for understanding Filipino diaspora formation. Joyce Mariano “follows the money” to investigate the cultural, social, economic, and political conditions of diaspora giving. She takes an interdisciplinary approach to reveal how power operates through this charity and the ways the global economic and cultural dimensions of this practice reinforce racial subordination and neocolonialism. Giving Back explores how this charity can stabilize overlapping systems of inequality as well as the contradictions of corporate social responsibility programs in diaspora.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePages: 206 pages\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 5.5 x 8.25\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Temple University Press (2021)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoftbound ISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 978-14-3-991840-1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardbound ISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 978-14-3-991839-5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardbound","offer_id":39568006512806,"sku":"SKU--2551","price":99.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Softbound","offer_id":39568006545574,"sku":"SKU--2551","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/ef69f69eac5ed789242c02fdc3a5bf78.jpg?v=1616554663"}],"url":"https:\/\/philippine-bookshop.myshopify.com\/collections\/filipino-american-experience-filipinos-in-the-diaspora-asian-americans.oembed?page=9","provider":"Philippine  Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
