The Latinos of Asia: How Filipino Americans Break the Rules of Race by Anthony Christian Ocampo
3.0
As a Filipino American, it was refreshing to hear stories of fellow Filipino Americans who shared similar sentiments surrounding the Asian American experience. I appreciated these stories and the endeavor to explore what makes The Philippines so unique among all the other Asian countries.
With that said, I do wish the pool of individuals interviewed was more diverse- and by that I mean Filipino Americans who live outside of Southern California. I also felt that as the book progressed the points made became redundant. I would’ve liked to see the author dive deeper into the sociological and psychological aspects of the common threads found across the interviewees’ stories.
