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. 606 $aFilipino Americans$xSocial conditions 606 $aFilipino Americans$xEthnic identity 606 $aFamilies$zUnited States 606 $aTransnationalism 606 $aRacism$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zPhilippines 607 $aPhilippines$xRelations$zUnited States 610 $aamerican history. 610 $aamerican workplace. 610 $aanalysis. 610 $acalifornia. 610 $acolonialism. 610 $acolonization. 610 $acolonizer. 610 $aethnic minorities. 610 $afilipino american. 610 $afilipino immigrants. 610 $afilipino. 610 $aglobal power. 610 $aimmigrant groups. 610 $aimmigrant history. 610 $aimmigrant stories. 610 $aimmigrants. 610 $ainterviews. 610 $alife story. 610 $amigration. 610 $aminority groups. 610 $aphilippines. 610 $arace issues. 610 $aracial minorities. 610 $aracism. 610 $asan diego. 610 $atransnational. 610 $atrue story. 610 $aunited states history. 610 $aus history. 610 $aworld history. 615 0$aFilipino Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aFilipino Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aFamilies 615 0$aTransnationalism. 615 0$aRacism 676 $a306.8/089/9921073 700 $aEspiritu$b Yen Le$f1963-$01594151 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826279703321 996 $aHome bound$93938600 997 $aUNINA
