Index

"A rich analysis of the transnational circuits of culture, labor, goods, and ideology circulating around the material and symbolic body of the Filipina. With its uniquely nuanced documentation and theorization of multiple, competing nationalisms, this book clear-sightedly accounts, on the one hand, for heteropatriarchy within the Filipino diaspora and, on the other hand, the limits of queer white definitions of desire and liberation."--Sarita See, author of The Decolonized Eye: Filipino American Art and Performance
