Contemporary popular culture stereotypes Filipina women as sex
workers, domestic laborers, mail order brides, and caregivers.
These figures embody the gendered and sexual politics of
representing the Philippine nation in the Filipina/o diaspora. Gina
K. Velasco explores the tensions within Filipina/o American
cultural production between feminist and queer critiques of the
nation and popular nationalism as a form of resistance to
neoimperialism and globalization. Â Using a queer diasporic
analysis, Velasco examines the politics of nationalism within
Filipina/o American cultural production to consider an
essential question: can a queer and feminist imagining of the
diaspora reconcile with gendered tropes of the Philippine nation?
Integrating a transnational feminist analysis of globalized
gendered labor with a consideration of queer cultural politics,
Velasco envisions forms of feminist and queer diasporic belonging,
while simultaneously foregrounding nationalist movements as vital
instruments of struggle.
