Download or read book Filipinos in Canada written by Roland Sintos Coloma and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2012-09-11 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Philippines became Canada’s largest source of short- and long-term migrants in 2010, surpassing China and India, both of which are more than ten times larger. The fourth-largest racialized minority group in the country, the Filipino community is frequently understood by such figures as the victimized nanny, the selfless nurse, and the gangster youth. On one hand, these narratives concentrate attention, in narrow and stereotypical ways, on critical issues. On the other, they render other problems facing Filipino communities invisible. This landmark book, the first wide-ranging edited collection on Filipinos in Canada, explores gender, migration and labour, youth spaces and subjectivities, representation and community resistance to certain representations. Looking at these from the vantage points of anthropology, cultural studies, education, geography, history, information science, literature, political science, sociology, and women and gender studies, Filipinos in Canada provides a strong foundation for future work in this area.
Download or read book Indomitable Canadian Filipinos written by Eleanor R. Laquian and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 70- year history of Filipino migration to Canada, their number has increased from 770 in 1964 to about a million in 2021. Yet no book has been written and published in Canada about the Filipino community in its entirety. This book fills that vacuum. The first major wave of primarily professional Filipino immigrants, mostly nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals arrived in the 1960s from the U.S. They came to renew their U.S. visas but decided to stay. They were admitted on Canada’s merit-based point system. The succeeding waves of Filipino immigrants came mainly through the government’s Live-in Caregiver Program, the Temporary Foreign Workers Program and the Family Reunification program where requirements for education and technical skills were less demanding. These immigrant programs, with racist undertone, brought them to Canada mainly to do work that most Canadians did not like to do. They felt they were needed as temporary workers but not as citizens. These immigrants were driven to accept these undesirable jobs to escape from poverty and turmoil back home in the hope of achieving a better future in Canada for their children. They came in the prime of life, trained and competent to take on whatever job they could get to survive. And they toiled away quietly minding their own business, raising their children as best as they could while instilling in them the value of good education. But Filipinos are an indomitable lot and can’t be kept down for long. In the last two decades, a new breed of notable young Filipinos has emerged from the shadows and into the light. This book tells how a million Filipino immigrants turned hardships into opportunities and a better life in Canada for their children. This is their contemporary history. This is not a mere collection of published articles. It is an ongoing narrative, linking chapters from Introduction to Conclusion, by academicians, researchers, journalists and essayists who provide the necessary in-depth theorizing and analyzing of the 70-year history of Filipino immigration to Canada.

Book excerpt: The central argument of the paper is that this body of literature has three distinct characteristics, an urban bias, a focus on the economic integration of immigrants, and a gender bias. [...] Cutting across these topics are two central themes which are the importance of social networks in immigration experiences, and the frequency of transnational ties between communities in Canada and the Philippines. [...] I suggest that an examination of these trends and themes not only exposes the gaps in the literature but also shows how the Filipino-Canadian community is well positioned for a study of immigrants in secondary cities and rural areas. [...] In their book on the Filipino community in Ontario, the authors examine various economic aspects of the migration experience (e.g. [...] And although there may be various degrees of overlap between immigrants' social networks, the notion of a homogeneous ethnic community which newcomers simply have access to is far too simplistic in contemporary times.7 Transnationalism in the form of economic and social remittances The second most common theme in the literature related to transnational activities in the form of social and economic.
