TY - GEN T1 - Filipinos in Canada : disturbing invisibility A2 - Coloma, Roland Sintos LA - English PP - Toronto ; Buffalo ; London PB - University of Toronto Press YR - 2012 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocn868069045 AB - "The Philippines became Canada's largest source of short- and long-term migrants in 2010, surpassing China and India, both of which are more than ten times larger. The fourth-largest racialized minority group in the country, the Filipino community is frequently understood by such figures as the victimized nanny, the selfless nurse, and the gangster youth. On one hand, these narratives concentrate attention, in narrow and stereotypical ways, on critical issues. On the other, they render other problems facing Filipino communities invisible. This landmark book, the first wide-ranging edited collection on Filipinos in Canada, explores gender, migration and labour, youth spaces and subjectivities, representation and community resistance to certain representations. Looking at these from the vantage points of anthropology, cultural studies, education, geography, history, information science, literature, political science, sociology, and women and gender studies, Filipinos in Canada provides a strong foundation for future work in this area."-- OP - 441 CN - F1035.F48 F54 2012eb SN - 9781442662711 SN - 1442662719 SN - 9781442662728 SN - 1442662727 SN - 9781442645400 SN - 1442645407 SN - 9781442613492 SN - 1442613491 KW - Filipinos : Canada : History.
