Despite conditions that might lead them to reject any kind of relationship to the Philippines in favor of a deep rootedness in the United States, many forge linkages to the "homeland" and are actively engaged in activism and social movements transnationally. Though it may well be true that most Filipino Americans have an ambivalent relationship to the Philippines, many of the chapters of this book show that other possibilities for belonging and imaginaries of "home" are being crafted and pursued".Global Southeast Asian Diasporas;v. 1.Filipino AmericansEthnic identityFilipino AmericansPolitics and governmentFilipino diasporaGroup identityPolitics and culturePhilippinesTransnationalismPolitical aspectsPhilippinesFilipino AmericansEthnic identity.Filipino AmericansPolitics and government.Filipino diaspora.Group identity.Politics and cultureTransnationalismPolitical aspects973.049921Rodriguez Robyn MagalitNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910838245703321Filipino American transnational activism4144447UNINA
