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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy focusing on a range of Filipina experiences, including that of nurses, international students, religious workers and personal assistants, \u003cem\u003eMaking Home in Diasporic Communities\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Sabenacio Nititham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472455207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472455208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Diane Sabenacio Nititham","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48659399672063,"sku":"9781472455208","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-home-in-diasporic-communities-diane-sabenacio-nititham-9781472455208","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
