Filipino migrants constitute one of the largest global diasporas
today. In Australia, Filipino settlement is markedly framed by the
country's on-going nation-building project that continues to
racialise immigrants and delineate the possibilities and limits of
belonging to the national community. This book explores the ways in
which Filipino migrants in Australia experience, understand and
negotiate racism in their everyday lives. In particular, it
explores the notion of everyday anti-racism - the strategies
individuals deploy to manage racism in their day to day lives.
Through case studies based on extensive fieldwork the author shares
ethnographic observation and interview material that demonstrate
the ways in which Filipinos are racially constituted in Australian
society and are subject to everyday racisms that criss-cross
different modes of power and domination. Drawing on theoretical
approaches in critical race scholarship and the sociology of
everyday life, this book illuminates the operation of racism in a
multicultural society that persists insidiously in exchanges across
a range of public and private spaces. More importantly, it explores
the quotidian ways in which 'victims' of racism cope with routine
racialised domination, an area underdeveloped in anti-racism
research that has tended to focus on institutional anti-racism
politics. Shedding light on a neglected corner of the global
Filipino diaspora and highlighting the complexity of lived
experiences in translocal and transnational social fields, this
book will be of interest to academics in the field of diaspora and
migration studies, the study of race and racism and ethnic
minorities, with particular reference to the Asian diaspora.
