Davis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection touches on memory, love, the sorrow of loss, and childhood joy—all viewed through the prism of a unique Asian culture that is the product of American and Spanish colonization. The anthology reflects the myriad changes faced by Filipinas in the twenty-first century, their songs of survival, and the bridging of cultures. It gives voice and vision to the current condition of Filipinas throughout the world, while celebrating the lessons of childhood, memory, and place. It presents a shared history of Filipinas’ struggle to maintain identity in the far-flung Philippine diaspora. These women challenge the traditional ideas of home and show how landscapes inhabit us, making up who we are, how we think, and how we live. Among the fifty-two contributors are Filipino American authors M. Evelina Galang, Angela Narcisco Torres, Luisa Igloria, Catalina Cariaga, and Linda Ty-Casper. Also includes Australian-based author Merlinda Bobis.\"Brava! ..A wonderful new addition to the growing body of Philippine diaspora literature.\"—Jessica Hagedorn, Author of Dream Jungle.\" The poems and stories in this stunning collection are poignant, raw, hip, and beautiful.

Through performances—and parodies of them—these celebrations of national identity through music, dance, and theatrical narratives reemphasize what it means to be Filipino American. In The Day the Dancers Stayed, scholar and performer Theodore Gonzalves uses interviews and participant observer techniques to consider the relationship between the invention of performance repertoire and the development of diasporic identification. Gonzalves traces a genealogy of performance repertoire from the 1930s to the present. Culture nights serve several functions: as exercises in nostalgia, celebrations of rigid community entertainment, and occasionally forums for political intervention. Taking up more recent parodies of Pilipino Cultural Nights, Gonzalves discusses how the rebellious spirit that enlivened the original seditious performances has been stifled. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePages: 228 pages \u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 5.5 x 8.25 \u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Temple University Press (2009)\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-15-9-213729-9\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40372319649958,"sku":"SKU--1492","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/f26936a9ba5938773f1c293bf4567d58.jpg?v=1616552496"},{"product_id":"filipina-artists-in-diaspora-by-thelma-b-kintanar","title":"Filipina Artists in Diaspora by Thelma B.
