Transnational Crossroads by Camilla Fojas

Transnational Crossroads by Camilla Fojas

Through a comparative framework, this volume weaves together narratives of US and Spanish empire, globalization, resistance, and identity, as well as social, labor, and political movements. Contributors examine multiethnic celebrities and key figures, migratory paths, cultural productions, and social and political formations among these three groups.

"Transnational Crossroads is impressive in scope and purpose, weaving together discourses and narratives of empire, globalization, resistance, and cultural politics of converging Asian, Latina, and Pacific Islander communitiesIts focus is most welcome and so exciting for engagement in these issues."—Rona Halualani, author of In the Name of Hawaiians: Native Identities and Cultural Politics

"Transnational Crossroads is unique and a wonderful triangulation of Pacific Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinos. It will be a sourcebook for both graduate and undergraduate courses in critical race studies, comparative ethnic studies, core courses in American studies, and migration studies."—Martin F. Manalansan IV, author of Global Divas: Filipino Gay Men in the Diaspora

"This book offers fresh new insights, as only such a broadly conceived interdisciplinary work could, into many different areas such as modern Asian, U.S., and global histories."-Kwangmin Kim, Journal of American Ethnic History
