{"product_id":"settling-st-malo-randy-gonzales-9781959569039","title":"Settling St. Malo","description":"Settling St. Malo brings readers back to a time when Louisiana had the largest Filipino population in the United States--when Filipinos fished out of St. Malo, dried shrimp on Barataria Bay, and designed Mardi Gras floats in New Orleans. Poet Randy Gonzales explores the history of Louisiana's nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Filipino communities and his family's story of migration and assimilation through a blend of documentary and lyrical poetry. Settling St. Malo is a history of Filipino Louisiana in verse and an ode to the struggles of our immigrant ancestors, a collection of poems whose substance, language, and rhythms are informed by oral histories, diaries, letters, and government documents--poems infused with cultural and visual landscapes and driven by a poet's desire to account for a lost heritage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Randy Gonzales\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1959569031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781959569039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Univ of Louisiana at Lafayette\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.30d","brand":"Randy Gonzales","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44228139974911,"sku":"9781959569039","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19db3c5b-8d23-4943-97fc-7d0290e3050d.jpg?v=1692812059","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/settling-st-malo-randy-gonzales-9781959569039","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
