A high degree of culture existed in the Philippines over 2,000 years ago, and important finds of superb gold objects from the southern islands attest to this fact. The Chinese traded objects of porcelain for those of gold, rare woods, and spices. This trade flourished actively from about the 5th century A.D. until the end of the Ch'ing Dynasty (1912) with the most active periods being the Sung Dynasty (960-1279), Yuan Dynasty (1260-1368), and the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Extensive archeological field work is now being done, and many fine examples of Chinese ceramics have come to light. The Spaniards came in the early 16th century and by the 1590's, the University of Santo Tomas had already been established in Manila. After this time, a great trade flourished between another Spanish colony, Mexico. It is hoped by this exhibition will help the viewer perceive Philippine culture with new eyes and with the respect it deserves.\" David Kamansky Director, Pacific Asia Museum June 1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback: 92 pages\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Pacific Asia Museum; 1st edition (July 1, 1984)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10: 029596535-5\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 978-0-29-596535-2\u003cbr\u003ePackage Dimensions: 8.4 x 5.8 x 0.7 inches\u003cbr\u003eShipping Weight: 1.1 pounds\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pacific Asia Museum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39567411871910,"sku":"SKU","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/f2cfef687f55c832133c150c8b7363d0.jpg?v=1616549542"},{"product_id":"blanco-by-alice-g-guillermo-out-of-print","title":"Blanco by Alice G.

Arriola\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow to read this book:\u003cbr\u003efully illustrated; gives a clear understanding of being Filipino\u003cbr\u003eThink of it as a bus tour through five hundred years of Philippine history. Our tour guide is a dedicated and endearing school teacher (Mariel N. Francisco) who helpfully points out the high and low points, the twists and turns of the Filipino nation's \"continuing past\" in her capsulized historical narrative. The reader must pay attention to this narrative - for our tip guide does not only set the pace. she also holds the itinerary. She sits out front (the upper half of the page) and her well modulated loudspeaker can be heard throughout the bus.\u003cbr\u003eThe back of the bus (the lower half of the page) is recommended for those whose attention span is short and\/or who appreciate a bit more explanation. Here sits a wry observer (Fe C. Arriola) who provides short commentaries to the narrative. To prick her pompous balloon are three wiseacres (Onib Olmedo, Manny Arriola, Odette Alcantara) who make irrepressible comments on the comments. These sub-comments are for those who don't mind laughing until it hurts and who can see the point of being beside the point. Serious-minded, no-nonsense readers may ignore the sayings, wisecracks and asides. \u003cbr\u003eReaders may even snub the disarming mascots provided for each period- the sassy lapulapu of the Spanish period, the high-flying eagle of the American period, the backward garden snail of the Japanese period, and the \"trying hard\" puppy of contemporary times. But they will do so at their own risk. \u003cbr\u003eAll over, various artists (Nik Rocio, Onib Olmedo, Tence Ruiz, Willie Aquino, Jess Abrera, Danny Dalena, Zny Laygo, Anna Fer,F  rey Cabading, among others) seek to interpret that which words cannot express. Readers who are more intuitive than logical can take their cue from the drawings. Or from the old woman whose bayong full of old photographs, antique cigarette wrappers, clippings of forgotten cartoons and other material evidences of history spill all over the pages. To fellow ratpackers, these, by themselves, already make the tour.\u003cbr\u003eNo tour is complete without a conductor. The conductor here is an opinionated graduate student (Fe C. Arriola again) who insists on explaining at length (via the short, special boxed articles) why the road is bumpy, why there are delays in our goals, why some roads are well trodden and some overgrown with weeds, why there is sometimes a dilemma on which road to take. Readers who are politically-inclined and seriously interested in mapping a better country to tour should pay attention to the boxes. And so the reader has a choice of guides, seat to take, and seatmate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the book is written for the burgis, one does not have to be burgis to enjoy it. It is more important to know how to travel light, leaving behind the mental baggage that often weighs down both burgis and non-burgis. Take along instead an open mind, the grace to laugh at yourself, and the stubbornness to keep faith with fellow Filipinos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Philippine import.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnknown Binding: 200 pages\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bookmark; 1st edition (1987)\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10: 971914676-1\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 978-97-1-914676-6","brand":"The Bookmark Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39567415935142,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/40bd9b3613aafe82e1459402c7dd0003.jpg?v=1616549602"},{"product_id":"kneeling-carabao-dancing-giants-celebrating-filipino-festivals-rena-krasno-illustrated-by-ileana-c-lee","title":"Kneeling Carabao \u0026 Dancing Giants: Celebrating Filipino Festivals Rena Krasno Illustrated by Ileana C.

The statistics in an introductory chapter are daunting: 70,000,000 people, 87 languages, 3,000,000 words in the main language of Pilipino. Krasno makes clear that the heart of Filipino culture is in the divergent backgrounds of those who came to the islands--from China, Spain, the Middle East, Portugal--and in the honor-bound blending of the old with the new that results in so many celebrations that ``you couldn't go to every festival if you tried.'' In chapters named for some of the events--e.g., ``Celebrating Rice, the Ati-Atihan Festival'' and ``Festival of the Higantes''--Krasno gives background and adds stories, songs, recipes, and games. It's a robust sampler of an obviously rich and varied culture, fortified by Lee's vibrant folk-art paintings--a book to help Filipino- American children honor their heritage (as part of the ``second- largest group of Asian-Americans'' in the US) or to fill a niche in multicultural collections. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an exceptional introduction to Filipino festivals: exceptional because there's relatively little written on Filipino history and culture for either kids or adults, in this country. This requires excellent reading skills and kids at the advanced elementary through middle school grades will be the obvious audience for the book; but many an adult seeking detailed information on Filipino festivals will find this unique, blending the story of Philippine independence with notes on various cultural contributions to festivals.

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.

Villanueva, and Asian Women United of California expand considerably on Making Waves (Cornell Univ., 1993) to produce a wonderful collection of fresh new stories, poems, memoirs, and essays. Included are thought-provoking poems about discarded, unwanted babies and the ravages of war by established poets such as Chitra Divakarum (Black Candle, Calyx, 1991) and Kimiko Hahn (Unbearable Heart, Kaya Prod., 1995). Susan Ito, a new writer, movingly expresses the heart of being a \"Hambun-Hambun\" literally half-and-half: a white and Japanese child\/woman in America. A scholarly excerpt from Sumi Cho's Critical Race Feminism (New York Univ., 1997) might be too erudite for the lay reader, but other eloquent reflections such as Nora Okja Cobb Keller's \"The Brilliance of Diamonds\" the story of how she got her name and Hershini Bhana's gripping poem about rape are further examples of the diversity in this book.

It's a marvelous and touching collection of work by a poet who has been at the forefront of Filipino and Asian American writing, activism and culture for decades. He has lived the life, and his words give us fullproof of the struggles and yearnings of Filipinos in America. - Jean Vengua, Tulitos Press Peñaranda's poems, like his stories, are lyrical testimonials of what is, what isn't, and an intense longing for what can never be. His voice is mature and sensitive, lamenting yet sure. His experience of laboring in the fields of California and in the Alaskan canneries provides him deep respect for the first generations of Pinoys who paved the path before him. Following in the footsteps of Carlos Bulosan, Peñaranda gives witness to the struggle of daily life with dignity and compassion.- Jeff TagamiOscar Peñaranda chose Poetry to tell stories, most notably of the Filipino American experience. So why didn't he choose fiction? Because the stories resonate beyond what can be expressed by words. What breathes between the lines of his poems is an ache-ridden love borne of the mating of loss and desire -- a haunting that transcends such references as \"There was this\/ ragged iron bar\/ that by accident crushed my\/ toe\/ when I with leathered gloves\/ worked with steel\/ in Alaska...\" Fortunately, Poetry also chose Oscar Peñaranda, as evident in a poem like \"A Song\" where he sings, \"So long as the world\/ touches me\/ my heart strings will never stop\/ playing the music.\"- Eileen Tabios\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOscar Peñaranda was born in the seacoast town of Barugo on the Island of Leyte, Philippines. His family moved to Manila when he was five years old, returning to Barugo almost every vacation time - Christmas, Easter, Summer. In Manila he absorbed Tagalog (from the streets) and English (from the schools). He was trilingual and tricultural at a young age. With Waray as his first language, then Tagalog and English his second and third. When he was twelve years old, his family moved to Vancouver, Canada (1956) because his father (a foreign service officer) was one of about ten other officers assigned by the Philippine government to open the first Philippine Consulate in Canada. The families of these Filipino officers would be the only Filipinos they would ever know in Canada. He lived in Vancouver, Canada for five years, between the ages of 12 to 17. On his senior year of high school his family was transferred to San Francisco where he went to St. Ignatius High School. From this time on, Peñaranda has pretty much called San Francisco home. Yet, not really. He explores, among other themes, this ambiguity in his works. He earned his B.A. (in Literature) and M.A. (Creative Writing) at San Francisco State University where he became part of the struggle to establish Ethnic Studies in the schools. In the summers, he held many odd jobs including hotel help in Las Vegas. He was there when Muhammad Ali (then Cassius Clay) won the heavyweight championship of the world. He worked in the fields of California picking all sorts of x fruits. He also worked in Alaskan fishing canneries for 15 consecutive summers. Some of his farmworker colleagues joined him in Alaska. His work clothes and gear are still there waiting for him. From San Francisco State University, he received his B.A. in Literature and M.A. in Creative Writing. He taught at San Francisco State for 12 years, Everett Middle School for 10 years, and is currently teaching at James Logan High School in Union City, California. He helped found the San Francisco Chapter of the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) as its first president. He also belongs to the Filipino American Educators Association of California (FAEAC). He advocates for the teaching and creation of Filipino Heritage Studies and Filipino (language) in all his educational efforts. He now lives in San Leandro, California, with his wife Luisa and daughter Milena.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: T'Boli (2004)\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10: 188776460-7\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 978-18-8-776460-5","brand":"T'Boli Publishing \u0026 Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39567442018470,"sku":"","price":36.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/0c821a64b4add1a17f2e3cd57fb2e632.jpg?v=1616549771"},{"product_id":"anthology-of-philippine-writing-in-america-by-alfredo-n-munoz","title":"Anthology of Philippine Writing in America by Alfredo N.

It's a small wonder, when the most recognizable poets--Ai, John Yau, Jessica Hagedorn--write poems in which ethnicity plays a minor role. Even Lawson Fusao Inada (who has drawn imagery from the Japanese detention camps) is represented by two poems about jazz. The best insights into the Asian-American experience come from lesser-known writers: in a stunning image, Amy Uyematsu compares a small woman with a \"shopping cart of used cans and rags\" to \"the Vietnamese grandmothers \/ I've seen so often in photographs\"; Li-Young Lee writes a masterful meditation on the ducks hanging in the Chinese butcher shop's window; Russell Leong's series of \"Aerogrammes\" from relatives back in China captures the relationship between old world and new with sensitivity and humor. Even writers who yearn for customs they never inherited display surprisingly little anger or bitterness, quite possibly a factor in the relative obscurity of their work. Hongo ( Yellow Light ) provides a welcome introduction. \u003cbr\u003eCopyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Library Journal\u003cbr\u003eWith this collection, Hongo hopes to expand the definition of Asian American poetry as well as its audience. His intelligent introduction condemns those who would apply \"a litmus test of ethnic authenticity\" to writing, as well as those who insist upon the \"macho\" camp of ethnic warrior poets. The styles of the 31 poets included range from confessional to surreal. Many were born and attended writing programs in this country, and some will be familiar to poetry readers (e.g., Ai, Cathy Song, Li-Young Li, John Yau, and David Mura). For good reasons, these poets are compulsive storytellers, driven to explain their backgrounds and contexts to a non-Asian audience. Beyond bitterness and cultural ambivalence, the best of these poems share a profound humor that emanates from the absurdity of cultural and temporal juxtapositions.

Jacinto’s lyric speaker observes the quiet catastrophes of life: a bum outside a hotel door coughing, a funeral procession, a father facing his impending death, a stripper dancing for GIs, among other such circumstances. His work shuttles back and forth between the Philippines and the United States and in those cross and criss-crossings asks us continually to consider how histories of colonialism and violence intrude into the everyday. In “Tongue-Tied,” the speaker describes his experience being beaten by priests when he is unable to pronounce English perfectly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn “Apparition,” families wait for fathers who have presumably gone to the United States in search of fortune and economic success, only to be left with a haunting presence that never takes shape. The title poem “Heaven is Just Another Country” places into context the inability for the immigrant to ever establish the oft-desired, but rarely attained American Dream. Like Kimiko Hahn’s Unbearable Heart, one of the first poems, “Another Monsoon Rain,” immediately sets the tone for the vast majority of poems that will follow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Small Press Distribution; First Edition edition (October 1, 1996)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10: 096096307-3\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 978-09-6-096307-2\u003cbr\u003eProduct Dimensions: 6.2 x 0.2 x 9.2 inches\u003cbr\u003eShipping Weight: 4.8 ounces","brand":"Small Press Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39567452143782,"sku":"76","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/85794f648267d9d9b7a1c1cd400d3361.jpg?v=1616549874"},{"product_id":"pasyon-by-rodel-e-aligan-out-of-print","title":"Pasyon by Rodel E.

Some writers, knowing that this is an ongoing project, submit copies of their published stories or poems. Most often, these are duplicates of materials already in the hands of editors. Occasionally, they are not, and then the editors are happy to include them for consideration. From this wealth of material, the editors make their selection of around twenty stories and forty poems...We thus take pleasure in presenting these volumes, which we dedicate to all who have been so generous with time, money, and other forms of assistance to the U.P.

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. It appears that even in this aspect the bahala na(come what may) approach has often prevailed. Yet, there is much to be gained in preparing oneself for the sea change that migration brings...There are some revealing aspects of life in another country that are easily over looked when pursuing the dream of a 'better' future.\" (p.16)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback: 214 pages\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Giraffe Books (2003)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10: 971883292-0\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 978-97-1-883292-9\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giraffe Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39567478128806,"sku":"SKU-287","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/files\/md31328160136.jpg?v=1720223307"},{"product_id":"between-the-homeland-and-the-diaspora-the-politics-of-theorizing-filipino-and-filipino-american-identities-by-susanah-lily-l-mendoza","title":"Between the Homeland and the Diaspora: The Politics of Theorizing Filipino and Filipino American Identities by Susanah Lily L.
