"An immensely ambitious book,American Workers, Colonial Poweris a regional history with ever widening spatial and social circles, each one layered and complex. Filipina/o Seattle, this study shows, reflects and exemplifies much of the American West and U.S., and affirms the mutually influential relationship, especially in terms of culture, between the U.S. and the Philippines. This is a work of deep scholarship and broad significance."—Gary Y. Okihiro, author ofCommon Ground: Reimagining American History
