The Latinos of Asia: How Filipino Americans Break the Rules of Race
Description
This insightful sociological study examines how Filipino Americans navigate racial identity at the intersection of Asian and Latino histories, cultures, and communities. Drawing on the experiences of second-generation Filipino Americans, it explores how family background, neighborhoods, schools, friendships, and local social contexts shape—and sometimes reshape—their understanding of race and belonging. Set against the evolving multicultural landscape of cities such as Los Angeles, the book challenges fixed ideas of racial categories while illuminating broader changes in immigration, community formation, and American identity.
