Examines the ways in which the colonial history of the Philippines has shaped Filipino American identity, culture, and community formation
"The essays deploy the notions of invisibility and forgetting, of transnationalism and disapora common to Filipino American studies, but more importantly the essays put them in relationship with each other...successfully challenges us to look closely at Filipino American studies and what it might contribute to our understanding of Filipino America and beyond." The Journal of American Ethnic History "On the whole, this is a thoughtful approach to charting Filipino-American research for the future." Multicultural Review "The book is effectively structured...a fine collection...with an exceptionally good introduction." The Journal of Asian American Studies "For readers in the Philippines, the anthology provides a critical lens for understanding the ways in which Filipino American social formations are shaped and constituted not only by the social, economic, and political conditions in the United States but also by U.S. (neo) colonialism in the Philippines. Taken together, the essays in Positively No Filipinos Allowed vigorously challenge the specter of Filipino invisibility."
