Finally, after 6 years in the making, our collaborative research project on the migration of Filipino youth and children is out as a book! Check it out here.
“Mobile Childhoods in Filipino Transnational Families: Migrant Children with Similar Roots in Different Routes” is fresh off the press this October 2015. It is a compilation of scholarly work edited by my friend and colleague Itaru Nagasaka of Hiroshima University, together with Asuncion Fresnoza-Flot of the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium.
I wrote about Filipino immigrants in the US in the chapter titled, “Identity Construction of Migrant Children and Representation of the Family: The 1.5-Generation Filipino Youth in California, USA”.
This book is a compilation of studies focused on “the (re)construction of the social lives of ‘1.5-generation’ – migrants who spent part of their childhoods in the Philippines and subsequently moved to the different receiving countries of their parents during their school years” (from the publisher’s website).
