Book excerpt: Though the Filipino American population has increased numerically in many areas of the United States, especially since the influx of professional immigrants in the wake of the 1965 Immigration Act, their impact on schools and related educational institutions has rarely been documented and examined. The Other Students: Filipino Americans, Education, and Power is the first book of its kind to focus specifically on Filipino Americans in education. Through a collection of historical and contemporary perspectives, we fill a profound gap in the scholarship as we analyze the emerging presence of Filipino Americans both as subjects and objects of study in education research and practice. We highlight the argument that one cannot adequately and appropriately understand the complex histories, cultures, and contemporary conditions faced by Filipino Americans in education unless one grapples with the specificities of their colonial pasts and presents, their unique migration and immigration patterns, their differing racialization and processes of identity formations, the connections between diaspora and community belonging, and the various perspectives offered by ethnic group-centered analysis to multicultural projects. The historical, methodological, and theoretical approaches in this anthology will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and students in disciplines which include Education, Ethnic Studies, Asian American and Pacific Islander Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, Political Science, Urban Studies, Public Policy, and Public Health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “ groundbreaking book . . . is essential reading not only for the Filipino diaspora but for anyone who cares about the mysteries of racial identity” (Jose Antonio Vargas, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist). Is race only about the color of your skin? In The Latinos of Asia, Anthony Christian Ocampo shows that what “color” you are depends largely on your social context. Filipino Americans, for example, helped establish the Asian American movement and are classified by the US Census as Asian. But the legacy of Spanish colonialism in the Philippines means that they share many cultural characteristics with Latinos, such as last names, religion, and language. Thus, Filipinos’ “color” —their sense of connection with other racial groups—changes depending on their social context. The Filipino story demonstrates how immigration is changing the way people negotiate race, particularly in cities like Los Angeles where Latinos and Asians now constitute a collective majority. Amplifying their voices, Ocampo illustrates how second-generation Filipino Americans’ racial identities change depending on the communities they grow up in, the schools they attend, and the people they befriend. Ultimately, The Latinos of Asia offers a window into both the racial consciousness of everyday people and the changing racial landscape of American society.

Download or read book Critical Race Theory in England written by Namita Chakrabarty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Race Theory (CRT) explains and challenges the persistence of racial discrimination throughout the world today, addressing issues such as racism, post-colonialism and systems of apartheid. Despite claims we live in a post-racial era, equality laws are under threat in the UK and evidence of racism persists in life and work. This collection is the result of ongoing work in this area by a group of UK based academics: the CRT in the UK discussion group, convened by Namita Chakrabarty, John Preston and Lorna Roberts. The aim of this book is to examine the practical application of CRT within a specifically English context. Encompassing a range of fields, from education to civil defense, it considers the tools and techniques of CRT (including CRT feminist thought), from counter-narrative to the role of political positioning, but above all it analyzes the workings of on-going racism within English institutions and structures. Key aspects of post- 9/11 culture are also critiqued and explored, including an analysis of Islamophobia and antiracism, how counter-terror measures may reinforce racist beliefs, the role of race and the BME academic, and the manipulation of race in debates surrounding education and class. These new perspectives offer greater insight into the crucial area of race without which any understanding of 21st century England is incomplete. This book was originally published as a special issue of Race, Ethnicity and Education.

Download or read book Filipino Americans written by Maria P. P. Root and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1997-05-20 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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 racial and ethnic studies. The power of the book lies in its ability to render problematic the stereotypes of Asian Americans, and to question the preconceived categories of race, culture, and ethnicity. The book′s discussion and reflection on identities is provocative and accessible to students." --Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies "Maria P. P. Root succeeds where many ethnic-specific anthologies fail: focusing on the issue of a people′s identity while avoiding boxing them in. . . . What is refreshing about this volume is not only the variety of perspectives, but the different styles. . . . Root and the contributors succeed in living up to the hope stated in the book′s introduction, ′′that these pages will offer challenging questions, some refreshing analysis, and new paradigms for interpreting the Filipino American experience.′′ --Pacific Reader Typically, when Asian Americans are discussed in the media, the reference is to people of Chinese or Japanese descent. However, the largest Asian American ethnic group is Filipino-a group about which little is known or written, even though Filipinos have a long-standing history with the United States through colonization that effects how this group is viewed and views themselves. Aimed at rectifying this information dearth, this volume presents the first interdisciplinary analysis of who Filipinos are and what it means to be a Filipino American. With contributions from historians, social workers, community leaders, ethnic studies scholars, sociologists, educators, health care workers, political scientists, and psychologists, this book addresses such issues as ethnic identity, the impact of different colonizations on ethnic identity, personal and family relationships, mental health, race, and racism. In addition, the sociopolitical context is examined in each social-issues chapter to make the volume more useful as a foundational tool for hypothesis generation, empirical research, policy analysis and planning, and literature review. This book offers readers a rich and varied portrait of our largest Asian American ethnic group.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative research study is to examine how Filipino American family, ethnic identity, and campus climate, combined with the struggles typically associated with the sophomore year of college, affect Filipino American second-year students’ perception of their academic and social challenges at one, public research intensive university. Widely termed as the ‘sophomore slump’, second-year students typically find themselves anxious, depressed, and confused. Internal and external pressures on major and career selection, financial independence, interpersonal relationships, and academic success combine to cause sophomores to disengage from their studies, be dissatisfied with their college experience, transfer to other institutions, and/or completely withdraw from school. For Filipino American students, these issues are intensified due to additional cultural barriers, family obligations, and parental expectations. As Filipino Americans comprise the second largest Asian ethnic group in the United States with the majority being immigrants or children of immigrants, the experiences of this population in higher education becomes an increasing concern. In this study, there were nine Filipino American college student participants. Interviews were conducted with eight participants followed by a focus group which included an additional student. Findings indicate that family, ethnic identity, and campus climate play a significant role in the experiences of Filipino American students during their second year of college. In addition, the study illustrates that these three influences intersect with one another. Some factors play a more prominent role for particular students in this study than for others. Filipino American students are heterogeneous though they share some commonalities. Implications for research and student affairs practitioners are provided.

Download or read book Filipino American Psychology written by Kevin L. Nadal and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filipino Americans are the second largest Asian American/ Pacific Islander population in the United States and they are projected to become the largest Asian American population by 2010. With 1.37 million Filipino-born immigrants living in the US, Filipino Americans are the second largest immigrant population in the country. As descendants of the Philippines, a country that was colonized by Spain for over three centuries and by the US for nearly 50 years, Filipino Americans are an ethnic group with a sociocultural and historical experience that is unlike any other. First, they are the only ethnic group that has been categorized as Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Hispanic. However, California state laws require that all personnel surveys or statistical tabulations classify persons of Filipino ancestry as "Filipino" rather than part of any other racial or ethnic group. Additionally, Filipino Americans have often been referred to as the "Forgotten Asian Americans," because their presence has been invisible in psychology, education, humanities, and other social sciences. Filipino American Psychology: A Handbook of Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice offers a comprehensive look at the psyche of Filipino Americans. By examining history, cultural values, influences of colonialism, community dynamics, and intersections with other identities, the reader will have an opportunity to understand essential information about this population. Students will gain knowledge and awareness about Filipino American identity and personality development, while practitioners will learn culturally-competent techniques to become better counselors, clinicians, and educators. This book is the first of its kind and aims to promote visibility of this invisible group, so that 2.4 million Filipino Americans will have their voices heard.

Book excerpt: Filipino-Americans are the second largest group of the Asian American population as well as the second fastest growing minority group in the United States (Maramba, 2008). However, there are limited studies that have been focused on Filipino-American students' entry in higher education. This study focuses on understanding how families, school personnel, and peers have supported first-generation Filipino-American students' entry into postsecondary education. Particularly, this study will explore the following research questions: 1) What role do family members play in supporting Filipino-American students entry into higher education? 2) What roles do teachers and other school personnel play in supporting Filipino-American students' entry into higher education? 3) What role do peers play in supporting Filipino-American students' entry into higher education? This study shares the stories of seven first-generation Filipino-American college students who successfully gained admissions to Research University of Northern California. The data were based on the participants' responses from semi structured open-ended interview process. The study utilized triangulation to investigate and discover common themes about the role of family, school personnel, and peers in the educational success of first-generation Filipino-American students. Parents, peers, and school personnel played significant roles in the academic success of first-generation Filipino-American students that contributed to this study. Parents as well as immediate and extended families ingrained the aspiration to pursuit academic excellence through the achievement of higher education as way to honor the family and oneself. However, despite being supportive of the participants many parents, even though they hold college degrees from Philippines, are not familiar with the U.S. educational system. As a result, tension between the participant and their parents surfaced due to the misunderstanding of the participants' college and major choice. Despite this tension, the influence of peers and school personnel played a key role in the academic success of the participants in this study.
