Filipino Americans
"Maria P. P. Root′s new edited volume on Filipino American makes an outstanding contribution in terms of exploring the socio-economic integration and the transformation of ethnic identities among one of the largest, fastest growing, but least studied Asian American groups in the United States - Filipinos. . . . One unique area covered by this book is its thoughtful reflection on the impacts of colonization on Filipino literature and the articulation of Filipino identities . . . . The book provides an unusual breadth of information on Filipino lives in the U.S.A. . . . I found this book very valuable as an introductory text in an undergraduate curriculum on Asian American studies, and in ra...
Filipino English and Taglish
English competes with Tagalog and Taglish, a mixture of English and Tagalog, for the affections of Filipinos. To understand the competing ideologies that underlie this switching between languages, this book looks at the language situation from multiple perspectives. Part A reviews the social and political forces that have propelled English through its life cycle in the Philippines from the 1898 arrival of Admiral Dewey to the 1998 election of Joseph Estrada. Part B looks at the social support for English in Metro Manila and the provinces with a focus on English teachers and their personal and public use of English. Part C examines the language of television sport broadcasts, commercials, interviews, sitcoms, and movies, and the language of newspapers from various linguistic, sociolinguistic, and sociocultural perspectives. The results put into perspective the short-lived language revolution that took place at the turn of the twenty-first century.

The Lived Experiences of Filipinx American Teachers in the U.S.
This text offers a hermeneutic phenomenological exploration of the lived experiences of Filipinx American teachers in U.S. schools, classrooms, and colleges. By drawing on one-on-one dialogues, group discussion, and reflective writing, the text identifies racial, cultural, and linguistic barriers that members of this minority group have faced in their training and practice as educators. The text questions the underrepresentation of Filipinx Americans among U.S. teaching staff and identifies causes both within the Filipino community and via external factors, including the absence of Filipino culture in curricula, as well as a lack of peer support in the development of Asian American teacher identities. This timely volume highlights the need to expand diversity teacher education to create a more racially diverse and inclusive workforce. Offering rich insight into the experiences of Filipinx American teachers, this volume will be of interest to students, scholars, and researchers drawn to studies of multicultural education, as well as teacher education.
