Filipinos in Hawai'i (Images of America)
"Filipinos in Hawaiʻi performs a most poignant task of narrating history through photography. The images remind us of how the past continues to speak to us, why they matter in our present, and what we still need to do in the future."--Rick Bonus, author of Locating Filipino Americans: Ethnicity and the Cultural Politics of Space"This book provides valuable insights to Filipino history in America. This book touches many facets of their life: at work, school and play, celebrating weddings and fiestas, and participating in social movements during the '70s through '90s."--Dorothy L. Cordova, Executive Director of the Filipino American National Historical Society"Filipinos in Hawaiʻi is an important book and helps counter lazy interpretations and ethnic stereotyping."--Melinda T. Kerkvliet, author of Unbending Cane: Pablo Manlapit, a Filipino Labor Leader in Hawaiʻi"Filipinos in Hawai'i is a major contribution. The book colorfully demonstrates how Filipinos became Hawayanos (Filipinos from Hawai'i) over time, transforming the islands and themselves in the process."--Jonathan Y. Okamura, author of Imagining the Filipino American Diaspora: Transnational Relations, Identities, and Communities
