Zusammenfassung:The Filipino Migration Experience introduces a new dimension to the usual depiction of migrants as disenfranchised workers or marginal ethnic groups. Mina Roces suggests alternative ways of conceptualizing Filipino migrantsas critics of the family and cultural constructions of sexuality, as consumers and investors, as philanthropists, as activists, and, as historians. They have been able to transform fundamental social institutions and well-entrenched traditional norms, as well as alter the business, economic and cultural landscapes of both the homeland and the host countries to which they have migrated. Mina Roces tells the story of the Filipino migration experience from the perspective of the migrants themselves, tapping on hitherto under-used primary sources from the "migrant archives" and more than 70 interviews. Bringing the fields of Filipino Migration Studies and Filipina/o/x American studies together, this book analyzes some of the areas where Filipino migrants have forever changed the status quo
