Download or read book Building Filipino Hawai'i written by Roderick N Labrador and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on ten years of interviews and ethnographic and archival research, Roderick Labrador delves into the ways Filipinos in Hawai'i have balanced their pursuit of upward mobility and mainstream acceptance with a desire to keep their Filipino identity. In particular, Labrador speaks to the processes of identity making and the politics of representation among immigrant communities striving to resist marginalization in a globalized, transnational era. Critiquing the popular image of Hawai'i as a postracial paradise, he reveals how Filipino immigrants talk about their relationships to the place(s) they left and the place(s) where they've settled, and how these discourses shape their identities. He also shows how the struggle for community empowerment, identity territorialization, and the process of placing and boundary making continue to affect how minority groups construct the stories they tell about themselves, to themselves and others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early twentieth century—not long after 1898, when the United States claimed the Philippines as an American colony—Filipinas/os became a vital part of the agricultural economy of California's fertile San Joaquin Delta. In downtown Stockton, they created Little Manila, a vibrant community of hotels, pool halls, dance halls, restaurants, grocery stores, churches, union halls, and barbershops. Little Manila was home to the largest community of Filipinas/os outside of the Philippines until the neighborhood was decimated by urban redevelopment in the 1960s. Narrating a history spanning much of the twentieth century, Dawn Bohulano Mabalon traces the growth of Stockton's Filipina/o American community, the birth and eventual destruction of Little Manila, and recent efforts to remember and preserve it. Mabalon draws on oral histories, newspapers, photographs, personal archives, and her own family's history in Stockton. She reveals how Filipina/o immigrants created a community and ethnic culture shaped by their identities as colonial subjects of the United States, their racialization in Stockton as brown people, and their collective experiences in the fields and in the Little Manila neighborhood. In the process, Mabalon places Filipinas/os at the center of the development of California agriculture and the urban West.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filipino Americans, who experience life in the United States as immigrants, colonized nationals, and racial minorities, have been little studied, though they are one of our largest immigrant groups. Based on her in-depth interviews with more than one hundred Filipinos in San Diego, California, Yen Le Espiritu investigates how Filipino women and men are transformed through the experience of migration, and how they in turn remake the social world around them. Her sensitive analysis reveals that Filipino Americans confront U.S. domestic racism and global power structures by living transnational lives that are shaped as much by literal and symbolic ties to the Philippines as they are by social, economic, and political realities in the United States. Espiritu deftly weaves vivid first-person narratives with larger social and historical contexts as she discovers the meaning of home, community, gender, and intergenerational relations among Filipinos. Among other topics, she explores the ways that female sexuality is defined in contradistinction to American mores and shows how this process becomes a way of opposing racial subjugation in this country. She also examines how Filipinos have integrated themselves into the American workplace and looks closely at the effects of colonialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women make up a majority of the Filipino workforce laboring overseas. Their frequent employment in nurturing, maternal jobs--nanny, maid, caretaker, nurse--has found expression in a significant but understudied body of Filipino and Filipino American literature and cinema. Harrod J. Suarez's innovative readings of this cultural production explores issues of diaspora, gender, and labor. He details the ways literature and cinema play critical roles in encountering, addressing, and problematizing what we think we know about overseas Filipina workers. Though often seen as compliant subjects, the Filipina mother can also destabilize knowledge production that serves the interests of global empire, capitalism, and Philippine nationalism. Suarez examines canonical writers like Nick Joaquín, Carlos Bulosan, and Jessica Hagedorn to explore this disruption and understand the maternal specificity of the construction of overseas Filipina workers. The result is a series of readings that develop new ways of thinking through diasporic maternal labor that engages with the sociological imaginary.

Book excerpt: Drawing from personal and institutional archives and the oral histories of Estrella Alamar (one of the few remaining Filipinas born and raised in mid-century Chicago) I interrogate the ways in which one’s location, gender, socio-economic status, and generational positioning shape the contours of Filipina American diasporas. This interdisciplinary study combines ethnography with cultural and social history as I trace major moments in Estrella’s life: living in tenement housing on the West side during the 1930s and 1940s; moving to the South and Southwest sides of Chicago during Urban Renewal; becoming the first ever Filipino American teacher in Chicago and first person of color at McKay Elementary during the 1960’s; and lastly, her establishment as the first second-generation community leader in Chicago-based Filipino American organizations and founding president of the Filipino American Historical Society of Chicago. While earlier studies on Filipino Americans reveal important insight on how immigrant families create transnational homes (Espiritu 2003) and the ways in which geographical location plays a determining role in the shaping of Filipino diasporic communities (Bonus 2000), they are told almost exclusively through immigrant narratives, often uphold heteropatriarchal cultural norms, and are predominantly limited to cities in the west coast where easily locatable ethnic enclaves exist, such as Manila Towns. As the daughter of immigrants who were amongst the fist to settle in Chicago during the 1920’s and 1930’s, Estrella’s stories of growing up in between two major eras of twentieth century Asian migration and growing White/Black racial tensions provides a history that is at once unique to Estrella and illustrative of how Filipina American history in Chicago emerges out of legacies of colonialism and slavery in gender and class-specific ways

This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies a selection of works of Philippine literature written in Spanish during the American occupation of the Philippines (1902-1946). It explores the place of Filipino nationalism in a selection of fiction and non-fiction texts by Spanish-speaking Filipino writers Jesús Balmori, Adelina Gurrea Monasterio, Paz Mendoza Guazón, and Antonio Abad. Taking an interdisciplinary approach that draws from Anthropology, History, Literary Studies, Cultural Analysis and World Literature, this book offers a comparative analysis of the position of these authors toward the cultural transformations that have taken place as a result of the Philippines' triple history of colonization (by Spain, the US, and Japan) while imagining an independent nation. Engaging with an untapped archive, this book is a relevant and timely contribution to the fields of both Filipino and Hispanic literary studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Filipina American woman recalls her childhood during wartime and peace 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.

Download or read book Filipinos in Hawai'i written by Theodore S. Gonzalves and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly one in four persons in Hawai'i is of Filipino heritage. Representing one-fifth of the state's workforce, Filipinos have been in Hawai'i for more than a century, turning the rough and raw materials of sugar and pineapple into billion-dollar commodities. This book traces a history from 1946--the last year that sakadas (plantation workers) were imported from the Philippines--to the centennial year of their settlement in Hawai'i. Filipinos are central to much that has been built and cherished in the state, including the agricultural industry, tourism, military presence, labor movements, community activism, politics, education, entertainment, and sports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dangerous Intercourse, Tessa Winkelmann examines interracial social and sexual contact between Americans and Filipinos in the early twentieth century via a wide range of relationships—from the casual and economic to the formal and long term. Winkelmann argues that such intercourse was foundational not only to the colonization of the Philippines but also to the longer, uneven history between the two nations. Although some relationships between Filipinos and Americans served as demonstrations of US "benevolence," too-close sexual relations also threatened social hierarchies and the so-called civilizing mission. For the Filipino, Indigenous, Moro, Chinese, and other local populations, intercourse offered opportunities to negotiate and challenge empire, though these opportunities often came at a high cost for those most vulnerable. Drawing on a multilingual array of primary sources, Dangerous Intercourse highlights that sexual relationships enabled US authorities to police white and nonwhite bodies alike, define racial and national boundaries, and solidify colonial rule throughout the archipelago. The dangerous ideas about sexuality and Filipina women created and shaped by US imperialists of the early twentieth century remain at the core of contemporary American notions of the island nation and indeed, of Asian and Asian American women more generally.

This book was released on 2015-01-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DISRUPT is a deep examination of how Filipina women in diaspora thrive in the challenges of living in the modern multi-cultural global economy. This is the definitive book that will change the public's perceptions of Filipina women's capacities to lead, a key objective of FWN's Pinay Power 2020 mission. Filipina women are the ultimate global disrupters. They disrupted their lives, families and careers when they left their home country to immigrate to foreign lands and re-invent their lives. They disrupted their organizations as they became achievers in their professional fields and broke glass ceilings. They disrupted the business landscape when they innovated products, improved and created services that impacted the lives of women and the community. They disrupted their communities as they became strong advocates for social issues that affected their families and children. They disrupted the political world when they ran for elected office, representing causes benefiting their local communities. They became political insiders and valued advisors of elected officials. Filipina women leaders in diaspora share their career journeys, their sacrifices to seek better lives for themselves and their families and their strategies to thrive in the modern multi-cultural global economy. 37 authors and editors are recipients of the Filipina Women's Network's 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the World(tm) award from the United States, Philippines, Singapore, Brazil, Japan, United Arab Emirates, Canada, and Poland. They share inspiring stories on: Shaping their leader identity, Developing their sense of self as they achieved power and influence, Determining their life purpose and world view, Adjusting to cultural norms in their drive to succeed, Overcoming domestic violence, incarceration, poverty, discrimination and harassment, and Coping with cognitive dissonance when Philippine traditional beliefs were at odds with the requirements of making it in the global workplace. This is not just a book about the leadership successes of individuals but also a community's call to action to celebrate and expand the global leadership of Filipina women. This book is also a reminder to Filipina women of their responsibility to give back to society and to help create a better world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book paints a vivid picture of women's active involvement in reshaping intimate and public sexual life in East Asia. In bringing together exciting new feminist research on sexuality from East Asia and making it available to a wider audience, East Asian Sexualities unsettles stereotypes, rectifies lack of awareness and demonstrates that East Asia matters. The chapters address the diversity and variety of everyday sexual lives and sexual politics in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Japan. They range from workplace sexual cultures, trans-national sexual relations, the conditions of sex-work and the emergence of new sexual desires, cultures and movements. The contributors highlight the gendered and sexual consequences of globalization and rapid social change. In doing so, they engage with western debates on late modernity while also exploring the contested understandings of modernization and westernization in the East. This is a collection which illuminates the local situations in which women's sexual lives are lived and offers fresh perspectives on global issues.
