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.
Using an interdisciplinary and transhistorical framework this book
examines the cultural, material, and symbolic articulations of
Irish migration relationships from the medieval period through to
the contemporary post-Celtic Tiger era. With attention to people's
different uses of social space, relationships with and memories of
the landscape, as well as their symbolic expressions of diasporic
identity, Heritage, Diaspora and the Consumption of Culture
examines the different forms of diaspora over time and contributes
to contemporary debates on home, foreignness, globalization and
consumption. By examining various movements of people into and out
of Ireland, the book explores how expressions of cultural capital
and symbolic power have changed over time in the Irish collective
imagination, shedding light on the ways in which Ireland is
represented and Irish culture consumed and materialized overseas.
Arranged around the themes of home and location, identity and
material culture, and global culture and consumption, this
collection brings together the work of scholars from the UK,
Ireland, Europe, the US and Canada, to explore the ways in which
the processes of movement affect the people's negotiation and
contestation of concepts of identity, the local and the global. As
such, it will appeal to scholars working in fields such as
sociology, politics, cultural studies, history and archaeology,
with interests in migration, gender studies, diasporic identities,
heritage and material culture.
