This collection reflects on their lives, which represent the diversity of the immigrant experience and their narratives are a way to understand ethnic identity and Filipino American history.
"..a useful means of understanding ethnic identity and Filipino American history." -The Diversity Factor "Filipino American Lives offers a collection of 13 life stories as told by the people who lived them... [F]rom these disparate backgrounds, a Filipino American identity emerges and Espiritu does an excellent job of letting the reader see its complexity." -Pacific Reader
