Making Home in Diasporic Communities demonstrates the global scope
of the Filipino diaspora, engaging wider scholarship on
globalisation and the ways in which the dynamics of nation-state
institutions, labour migration and social relationships intersect
for transnational communities. Based on original ethnographic work
conducted in Ireland and the Philippines, the book examines how
Filipina diasporans socially and symbolically create a sense of
'home'. On one hand, Filipinas can be seen as mobile, as they have
crossed geographical borders and are physically located in the
destination country. Yet, on the other hand, they are constrained
by immigration policies, linguistic and cultural barriers and other
social and cultural institutions. Through modalities of language,
rituals and religion and food, the author examines the ways in
which Filipinas orient their perceptions, expectations, practices
and social spaces to 'the homeland', thus providing insight into
larger questions of inclusion and exclusion for diasporic
communities. By focusing on a range of Filipina experiences,
including that of nurses, international students, religious workers
and personal assistants, Making Home in Diasporic Communities
explores the intersectionality of gender, race, class and
belonging. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and
anthropology as well as those with interests in gender, identity,
migration, ethnic studies, and the construction of home.
