  • Necessary Fictions”: Authorship and Transethnic Identity in Contemporary American Narratives
    MILNE, LEAH A., PhD. “Necessary Fictions”: Authorship and Transethnic Identity in Contemporary American Narratives. (2015) Directed by Dr. Christian Moraru. 352 pp. As a theory and political movement of the late 20th century, multiculturalism has emphasized recognition, tolerance, and the peaceful coexistence of cultures, while providing the groundwork for social justice and the expansion of the American literary canon. However, its sometimes uncomplicated celebrations of diversity and its focus on static, discrete ethnic identities have been seen by many as restrictive. As my project argues, contemporary ethnic American novelists are pushing against these restrictions by promoting what I call transethnicity, the process by which one formulates a dynamic conception of ethnicity that cuts across different categories of identity. Through the use of self-conscious or metafictional narratives, authors such as Louise Erdrich, Junot Díaz, and Percival Everett mobilize metafiction to expand definitions of ethnicity and to acknowledge those who have been left out of the multicultural picture. I further argue that, while metafiction is often considered the realm of white male novelists, ethnic American authors have galvanized self-conscious fiction—particularly stories depicting characters in the act of writing—to defy multiculturalism’s embrace of coherent, reducible ethnic groups who are best represented by their most exceptional members and by writing that is itself correct and “authentic.” Instead, under the transethnic model, ethnicity is self-conflicted, forged through ongoing revision and contestation and in ever- fluid responses to political, economic, and social changes. “NECESSARY FICTIONS”: AUTHORSHIP AND TRANSETHNIC IDENTITY IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN NARRATIVES by Leah A.

  • 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.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Hip-hop, Streetdance, and the Remaking of the Global Filipino by Jeffrey Lorenzo Perillo Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Susan Leigh Foster, Committee Co-Chair Professor Victor Bascara, Committee Co-Chair New York-based African American, Latino, and Caribbean immigrant youth of the 1960s and early 1970s gave life to one of the world's major contemporary cultural movements: Hip-hop. Initially misunderstood as a faddish form of Black male musical expression, Hip-hop's cultural resistance practices were quickly recognized as four core elements (emceeing, turntablism, graffiti art, and b-boying/b-girling). In the global context, Hip-hop has generated scholarly discourse that points to either the cultural globalization of American Blackness or a "global village." My project interrupts this conversation and focuses on the unique, multi-site cultural history of Filipino identity as constituted through practitioners of Hip-Hop dance. My work argues that a community of Filipinos, situated in different geo-political loci—Berkeley, California, Honolulu, Hawai‘i, and Manila, Philippines—configure prevailing concepts of Hip-hop while remaking conditions of ! ii dispossession and displacement in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

  • FANHS 2006 Conference Program Book
    HONOLULUNATIONAL 2006 HISTORICAL SOCIETY FILIPINO AMERICAN SAKADAS AND BEYOND: CONNECTING THE PAST TO INSPIRE THE FUTURE Conference Program 11th Biennial National Conference • Hosted by the Filipino-American Historical Society of Hawaii June 29 - July 1, 2006 • Renaissance Ilikai Waikiki Hotel Aloha and Welcome... to the 11th Biennial National Conference of the Filipino American National Historical Society. This year’s conference theme is, “Sakadas and Beyond, Connecting the Past to Inspire the Future” and is being held in Honolulu, Hawaii, as part of Hawaii’s commemoration of 100 years of Filipino migration to Hawaii. Although Filipinos in Hawaii are closely identifi ed with “sakadas,” not all Hawaii Filipinos had migrated to Hawaii as sakadas; in fact, many contemporary Hawaii Filipinos do not count any sakada-links in their family lines. This common (mis)perception is indicative of the actual diversity of the Filipino experience in Hawaii and beyond. Our conference in Honolulu serves as an appropriate gathering place to learn about, discuss and debate this diversity and, hopefully, to develop new understandings to inspire the future.

  • Baybayin.Com Abstract
    Philippine native scripts as identity, promotion and preservation in the ! Filipino American diaspora through art Kristian Kabuay info@baybayin.com" " Abstract! ! Due to our unique history, self identity has been a complicated matter and even much more in the diaspora. We seek recognition from the place we migrate to but we don’t even recognize ourselves. While we have some symbols such as the Philippine Sun and Stars and Manny Pacquiao, it’s time to use our scripts to identify ourselves to foreigners and ourselves. " " One of the challenges Philippines businesses in the diaspora is identity. In intimate businesses such as real estate, insurance and medicine, we usually go to people we trust and who do we trust? Usually someone that speaks our language is familiar with our cultural traditions. The problem is that Filipinos can look like many different races. My father sells real estate but had a tough time getting walk-in Filipino clients because they didn’t know he could look Chinese or Mexican. " " Many Filipino Americans in their twenties and thirties may not be fluent with Philippine native scripts but they recognize it as much as the eight ray sun and 3 stars. Philippine businesses need to be identified by indigenous Philippine writing systems such as our Asian neighbors. We have “Filipino” plazas in San Francisco, California where you can witness our identity crisis. " " Every person starts off as an artist. As we get older we forget how to let loose and create. Kids pickup on writing shapes of Baybayin without any issues. Using calligraphy art methods to write Philippine scripts has a unique trait that it can teach as well as entertain.
