Recognising the distinctive context of the Philippines, with its
unique long history, and peculiar population distribution across
thousands of islands, this edited collection analyses its decidedly
familial culture. Why do Filipino families maintain perhaps the
strongest family bonds of any culture? How have shown a unique
ability to persevere, even when faced with the direst of
circumstances? Covering a broad range of topics, chapters and
commentaries delve into changing gender roles, poverty and family
dynamics, mothering in prison, teenage fatherhood, dating and mate
selection, rural family norms, the interweave of family and
community, media representations on families, new forms of
parenthood, remittances and familial support systems, and how
overseas employment affects spousal and parent-child relationships.
A highly comprehensive ethnographic analysis, Resilience and
Familism demonstrates in a specifically Filipino context how strong
familial ties can affect inner strength and outer determination.
