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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49781309178129,"sku":"CIN0520235274A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50469883609361,"sku":"CIN0520235274G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50905238864145,"sku":"CIN0520235274VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53521280925969,"sku":"NLS9780520235274","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0520235274.jpg?v=1751040078"},{"product_id":"asian-american-panethnicity-book-yen-espiritu-9781566390965","title":"Asian American Panethnicity","description":"A case study of how cultural diversity among Asian Americans is subsumed for social and political advantage","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50170483474705,"sku":"CIN1566390966G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51804190474513,"sku":"CIN1566390966VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52495522038033,"sku":"NIN9781566390965","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1566390966.jpg?v=1763223184"},{"product_id":"sage-encyclopedia-of-refugee-studies-book-yen-le-espiritu-9781071919361","title":"The Sage Encyclopedia of Refugee Studies","description":"Refugees and displacement are defining issues of the 21st century, with over 70 million asylum seekers, refugees, and stateless individuals forced from their homes as of 2020. Every two seconds, one person is forcibly displaced due to climate change, global epidemics, and ongoing conflicts. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Refugee Studies, edited by members of The Critical Refugee Studies Collective, serves as a vital and comprehensive resource for understanding the historical, political, and cultural dimensions of displacement.   Featuring over 250 authoritative articles, this landmark reference work is organized into three key themes: law, politics, and policy; humanitarianism and humanitarian organizations; and media, culture, and storytelling. Drawing from disciplines such as migration studies, Indigenous studies, critical race studies, environmental studies, sociology, political science, law, anthropology, and the arts, this encyclopedia critically examines refugee issues in relation to imperialism, racism, patriarchy, and militarism.   Beyond academic analysis, The SAGE Encyclopedia of Refugee Studies centers refugee voices through narratives, first-person accounts, and visual storytelling, highlighting the lived experiences, communities, and creative expressions of displaced individuals. This essential resource is invaluable for scholars, educators, policymakers, community-based organizations, and refugees themselves.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51600003072273,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51600003105041,"sku":"NGR9781071919361","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1071919369.jpg?v=1750790586"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-yen-espiritu.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
