This book considers the intersections of race, gender and class in
multicultural Australia through the lens of migration to the
country. Focusing on Philippines-born migration, it presents the
profile and history of this minority group through an examination
of their print material culture over the last 40 years.
Particularly, it examines the growth of the production of Filipino
cultural identity and the politics of community building in
relation to the sexualisation of their acquired citizenship. Given
the promotion of Australia as a modern, multicultural, Western
nation in the Asia-Pacific region, the book questions the bases on
which this claim stands using the example of Filipino settlement in
Australia. Considering the social contradictions that continue to
shape multicultural politics in Australia, it examines how the
community makes sense of its migration through print material
culture. The book analyses the community's responses to their
minoritisation to understand how Filipino-Australian migration- the
affective and economic appropriation of women's labour-is
instructive of the social reality of millions in the global
diaspora today. Based on archival and ethnographic research, this
text straddles the interdisciplinary fields of gender and cultural
studies, and is a key read for all scholars of Asian and Australian
area studies.
