Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox (Guest: Amy Agbayani) 1
GUEST: AMY AGBAYANI LSS 410 (LENGTH: 26:46) FIRST AIR DATE: 11/30/10 I think people who don’t know me are really quite surprised when they do meet me, because I’m not frothing at the mouth. Because some of my statements might be outrageous, but on a personal level, I’m kind of mild, I think. But I do take strong positions on these issues. Have you taken a position, where you really put yourself out there on the very edge? Oh, yeah. Amy Agbayani came to Hawaii in the turbulent 1960s to get a graduate education, and she stayed to shake things up with her activist approach and sense of social justice. She has spent the past forty-plus years, on campus and in the community, chipping away at the barriers holding back immigrants, women, gays, and other underrepresented groups. Her story is next, on Long Story Short. Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox is Hawaii’s first weekly television program produced and broadcast in high definition. Aloha mai kakou. I’m Leslie Wilcox. In this edition of Long Story Short, we’ll get to know Amy Agbayani, a Hawaii civil right pioneer who’s built a career and a reputation fighting for the underdog. Her activist roots date back to the anti- Vietnam War protests in the 60s at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Instead of returning to her native Philippines after graduate school, Dr. Agbayani found her calling in working to improve the lives of Filipino immigrants here in Hawaii. Over the years, she expanded her efforts to include other minorities and almost anyone on the fringes of society. -
Daar Al Falasşini Home, Family and Identity Among Palestinians in Britain
Daar al Falasşini Home, family and identity among Palestinians in Britain Joanna Claire Long Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD in Geography Queen Mary, University of London January 2011 1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own. SIGNED Joanna Long 2 ABSTRACT What do home, family and identity mean for diasporic populations? What kinds of practices, relationships and spaces are involved in making these things come alive on an everyday basis? What does an understanding of this contribute to discourses of Palestinian identity in particular and scholarship on diasporic identity more broadly? These questions are central to this thesis, which is based on qualitative research interviewing Palestinians in family groups and as individuals in their own houses. My findings are discussed in three parts. The first explores notions of al beit (house) and the practices that bring domestic spaces to life. I argue that physical living spaces are enrolled in family practices of identity but that both Arab/Palestinian family life and British domestic space adapt in the process. The second part explores the geographies of Palestinian families, how people negotiate these through everyday practices and how migration has precipitated a re-imagination of family and a reworking of family relationships. The third part explores the dynamics of social groups and collective identity, including the multiple identities and the range of ideas and conversational practices through which Palestinian social relatedness is enacted. I argue that the loss of family proximity can create opportunities for new kinds of meaningful relationships but that family remains an important coordinate for social relations through which historical family geographies of Palestine are reproduced. -

Mock Filipino, Hawai'i Creole, and Local Elitism
Pragmatics 21:3.341-371 (2011) International Pragmatics Association DOI: 10.1075/prag.21.3.03hir IS DAT DOG YOU’RE EATING?: MOCK FILIPINO, HAWAI‘I CREOLE, AND LOCAL ELITISM Mie Hiramoto Abstract This paper explores both racial and socioeconomic classification through language use as a means of membership categorization among locals in Hawai‘i. Analysis of the data focuses on some of the most obvious representations of language ideology, namely, ethnic jokes and local vernacular. Ideological constructions concerning two types of Filipino populations, local Filipinos and immigrant Filipinos, the latter often derisively referred to as “Fresh off the Boat (FOB)” are performed differently in ethnic jokes by local Filipino comedians. Scholars report that the use of mock language often functions as a racialized categorization marker; however, observations on the use of Mock Filipino in this study suggest that the classification as local or immigrant goes beyond race, and that the differences between the two categories of Filipinos observed here are better represented in terms of social status. First generation Filipino immigrants established diaspora communities in Hawai‘i from the plantation time and they slowly merged with other groups in the area. As a result, the immigrants’ children integrated themselves into the local community; at this point, their children considered themselves to be members of this new homeland, newly established locals who no longer belonged to their ancestors’ country. Thus, the local population, though of the same race with the new immigrants, act as racists against people of their own race in the comedy performances.

Diaspora Philanthropy: the Philippine Experience
Diaspora Philanthropy: The Philippine Experience ______________________________________________________________________ Victoria P. Garchitorena President The Ayala Foundation, Inc. May 2007 _________________________________________ Prepared for The Philanthropic Initiative, Inc. and The Global Equity Initiative, Harvard University Supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation ____________________________________________ Diaspora Philanthropy: The Philippine Experience I . The Philippine Diaspora Major Waves of Migration The Philippines is a country with a long and vibrant history of emigration. In 2006 the country celebrated the centennial of the first surge of Filipinos to the United States in the very early 20th Century. Since then, there have been three somewhat distinct waves of migration. The first wave began when sugar workers from the Ilocos Region in Northern Philippines went to work for the Hawaii Sugar Planters Association in 1906 and continued through 1929. Even today, an overwhelming majority of the Filipinos in Hawaii are from the Ilocos Region. After a union strike in 1924, many Filipinos were banned in Hawaii and migrant labor shifted to the U.S. mainland (Vera Cruz 1994). Thousands of Filipino farm workers sailed to California and other states. Between 1906 and 1930 there were 120,000 Filipinos working in the United States. The Filipinos were at a great advantage because, as residents of an American colony, they were regarded as U.S. nationals. However, with the passage of the Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934, which officially proclaimed Philippine independence from U.S. rule, all Filipinos in the United States were reclassified as aliens. The Great Depression of 1929 slowed Filipino migration to the United States, and Filipinos sought jobs in other parts of the world. -
Hawai'i Ethnic Humor, Local Identity and the Myth of Multiculturalism
Pragmatics 14:2/3.291-316 (2004) International Pragmatics Association “WE CAN LAUGH AT OURSELVES”: HAWAI‘I ETHNIC HUMOR, LOCAL IDENTITY AND THE MYTH OF MULTICULTURALISM1 Roderick N. Labrador Abstract Hawai‘i’s multiculturalism and perceived harmonious race and ethnic relations are widely celebrated in popular and academic discourse. The image of Hawai‘i as a “racial paradise,” a rainbow of peacefully co- existing groups, partially stems from the fact that among the various racial and ethnic groups there is no numerical majority and from the common belief in equality of opportunity and status. Hawai‘i ethnic humor is part and parcel of the maintenance and continued reinforcement of the notion of Hawai‘i as “racial paradise” with underlying racializing and stigmatizing discourses that disguise severe social inequalities and elide differential access to wealth and power. In this paper, I examine the intersection of language, humor, and representation by analyzing the linguistic practices in the comedy performances of Frank DeLima, a pioneer in Hawai‘i ethnic humor, and excerpts from Buckaloose: Shmall Keed Time (Small Kid Time), a comedy CD by Da Braddahs, a relatively new but tremendously popular comedy duo in Hawai‘i. Central to these comedy performances is the use of a language variety that I call Mock Filipino, a strategy often employed by Local comedians to differentiate the speakers of Philippine languages from speakers of Hawai‘i Creole English (or Pidgin). A key component to understanding the use of Mock Filipino is the idea of “Local” as a cultural and linguistic identity category and its concomitant multiculturalist discourse. -

Was there no way to simplify things in this continent so that suffering would be minimized? Was there not common denominator on which we could all meet? I was angry and confused and wondered if I would ever understand this paradox?”1 “It was a planless life, hopeless, and without direction. I was merely living from day to day: yesterday seemed long ago and tomorrow was too far away. It was today that I lived for aimlessly, this hour-this moment.”2 -Carlos Bulosan, America is in the Heart Introduction Carlos Bulosan was a Filipino immigrant living in the United States beginning in the 1930s. -

Gender and Migration in Arab States

As part of the international trend of feminization of international labour, much of this work remains invisible in national statistics and national labour legislation. It is not certain whether the increasing participation of women in international migration provides them with a decent wage, good working conditions, social security coverage and labour protection. It is therefore important to provide more attention to the labour situation of the growing number of women migrant workers. To identify critical issues of concern to women migrant domestic workers and to determine the extent of their vulnerability, the ILO has been analyzing the situation in several regions. These studies reveal practices and patterns that are the key causes of the vulnerability of women domestic migrant workers and suggest effective alternative strategies. This publication presents an ILO regional review and four country studies from the Arab States: Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon and United Arab Emirates. -
WORLD CATALOGUE of THESES on the PACIFIC ISLANDS Dickson Familiarity with Theses and Dissertations on His Subject Is Essential to the Research Worker
WORLD CATALOGUE OF THESES ON THE PACIFIC ISLANDS Dickson WORLD CATALOGUE OF THESES ON THE PACIFIC ISLANDS Diane Dickson and Carol Dossor Familiarity with theses and dissertations on his subject is essential to the research worker. These usually unpublished works are not, however, normally included in bibliographies and manuscript catalogues. As early as 1955 the growing number of theses on the Pacific islands had led to a demand for a catalogue, which was partially met by the publication of an Index o f Social Science Theses on the South Pacific. The growing recognition of the importance of the Pacific area now calls for a more comprehensive inventory, covering all disciplines, which this cata logue attempts to supply. The catalogue is based on the micro film Library of Theses on the Pacific Islands maintained by the Department of Pacific History of the Australian National University, and expanded by study of all available theses catalogues and by requests for information from universities known to be interested in Pacific studies. It contains more than 1,000 entries and will be an essential aid to all workers in the field of Pacific studies. Price in Australia $3.90 This book was published by ANU Press between 1965–1991. This republication is part of the digitisation project being carried out by Scholarly Information Services/Library and ANU Press. This project aims to make past scholarly works published by The Australian National University available to a global audience under its open-access policy.
