Book Synopsis Filipino Diaspora Watching by : Lea Marie R. Ballesteros
Download or read book Filipino Diaspora Watching written by Lea Marie R. Ballesteros and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filipinos have become the fastest growing diasporic community in the world. As Filipinos continue to migrate globally and home is being further removed from geographical place, new forms of territorializing space and inhabitation have become possible for them. The roles that new technologies in media and communication have played in diaspora formation have accelerated in recent years. Cable TV channels like The Filipino Channel (TFC) serve this purpose. Interviews among TFC subscribers reveal that TFC creates a sense of home and a sense of community among Filipino living and working abroad. The Filipino diaspora come from one ancestry, share the same homeland or are descended from people who hail from it. These enable them to avail media products that speak of and about them, like TFC. Filipino immigrants avail of TFC to maintain imaginary closeness to the homeland or to experience home virtually despite being so distant. In this case, the Filipino diaspora in the United States typically uses TFC as a tool to search for and define their identity. Through TFC, ABS-CBN Global makes a difference in the lives of Filipinos worldwide by providing them with first hand information about their homeland. TFC is designed to let every Filipino, wherever he or she may be, know that home is just a channel away.
Book Synopsis Imagining the Filipino American Diaspora by : Jonathan Y. Okamura
Download or read book Imagining the Filipino American Diaspora written by Jonathan Y. Okamura and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998. The Philippines play a major role in expanding the international Filipino community through its promotion of international labor migration-Filipinos can currently be found in over 130 countries throughout the world. As the first major work to conceive of Filipino immigration as a diaspora, this study analyses the diasporic nature of Filipino relations, identities, and communities and shows how these transnational phenomena are socially constructed by the everyday actions and activities of Filipino Americans. Instead of focusing on an ethnic minority and its relation to its host society, a diasporic perspective places emphasis on the transnational relations created and maintained among that minority, its homeland, and other diasporic communities. Transnational ties are evident in the movement of people, money, consumer goods, information, and ideas. Diaspora represents a new and fluid conceptual image quite apart from the usual coordinates based on physical location, territory, and distance. Transnational relations and practices will continue to be an increasingly important dimension of the Filipino American community because of the ongoing family-based immigration from the Philippines, further technological advances in communication and transportation, the expansion of transnational capital, and continuing racism and discrimination, all of which have made it necessary for Filipinos in the United States, the Philippines, and throughout the world to create and maintain diasporic lives and culture.

Book Synopsis Insurgent Communities by : Sharon M. Quinsaat
Download or read book Insurgent Communities written by Sharon M. Quinsaat and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The term "diaspora" is used so commonly that its definition, a community of people living away from their ancestral homeland, seems self-evident. But how do migrants come to form a group, and how do they understand that homeland? In this book, sociologist Sharon Quinsaat sheds new light on the meaning of diaspora through the stories of Filipino migrants who, on first arrival to their new homes in the Netherlands and the US, don't necessarily connect to their Filipino identity or other Filipinos. They maintain ties to the homeland through family, often in the form of remittance payments, but they don't see themselves as part of a Filipino community abroad. After all, how much common ground could there be between a masters student at a private US university and an undocumented domestic worker earning less than minimum wage? Quinsaat shows that these gaps are bridged when Filipinos become engaged in political activism. Quinsaat analyzes three distinct protest movements--against the regime of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos, for migrants' rights abroad, and around cultural memory of the Marcos regime--that strengthened Filipino identity among migrants as they gathered collectively to make shared demands in public. These movements bring together very different migrants with a newfound shared goal, requiring them to openly address their different experiences and relationships to their homeland and its history. Social movements thus provide an essential space not just for coming together as diasporic subjects, but for openly negotiating and working through the diversity of migrants' experiences. She also shows that this local engagement with other migrants in a new country of residence quickly ties into a global network of activism. Activist groups forge connections with others living abroad, creating new diasporic identities that crisscross the globe by way of shared political commitments. Spanning five decades, Quinsaat's project helps us understand not just a major migrant group, but how people come to see themselves as part of a collective"--
Book Synopsis From Exile To Diaspora by : E. San Juan
Download or read book From Exile To Diaspora written by E. San Juan and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 1998-01-29 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Giving Back by : L. Joyce Zapanta Mariano
Download or read book Giving Back written by L. Joyce Zapanta Mariano and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Giving 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.
