Reviving, Reinventing and Rethinking an Indigenous Luxury Textile
Piña cloth, or textile woven from the delicate fibers of the pineapple plant used to be the epitome of luxury and high fashion in mid-nineteenth century Philippines. The weaving and wearing of piña experienced a rapid decline largely caused by the influx of British cotton textiles so that by the last half or the 20th century it had all but disappeared. This article analyses the history of reviving piña and its afterlives. It argues that reviving …
The Filipino Migration Experience
This book introduces a new dimension to the usual depiction of migrants as disenfranchised workers or marginal ethnic groups. The book suggests alternative ways of conceptualizing Filipino migrantsas critics of the family and cultural constructions of sexuality, as consumers and investors, as philanthropists, as activists, and, as historians. They have been able to transform fundamental social institutions and well-entrenched traditional norms, a…
The Filipino Migration Experience
The Politics of Visibility and the Politics of Appearances
This article examines the way Sundays at Lucky Plaza Singapore are an anomaly where conceptual hierarchies are temporarily turned upside down, albeit only one day a week. It is divided into two themes—the politics of visibility and the politics of appearances—illustrating how Filipina domestic workers have been able to demonstrate consumer power and reject society’s attempts to fashion them into invisible minorities and unattractive women. Derivi…
Negotiating modernities
This chapter examines the impact of new changes and women’s responses to them in four general areas: women and power and women and politics; women and labour including the diaspora; legislation affecting the status of women; and cultural constructions of the feminine. Philippine politics is not male-dominated but gendered. In the gendering of power and politics, men exercise official power as senators, congressmen, mayors, and councillors. Femini…

The School House and American Empire in the Philippines
Sarah Steinbock-Pratt’s Educating the Empire: American Teachers and Contested Colonization in the Philippines is an excellent major contribution to the scholarship on U.S. empire. Steinbock-Pratt makes a compelling argument that “schools were a microcosm for the colonial state” and that “establishment of an educational system in the Philippines created a model for colonial education that was used to justify America’s presence abroad and demonstra…

Women’s Movements and the Filipina
This book is about a fundamental aspect of the feminist project in the Philippines: rethinking the Filipino woman. It focuses on how contemporary women's organizations have represented and refashioned the Filipina in their campaigns to improve women's status by locating her in history, society and politics; imagining her past, present and future; representing her in advocacy; and identifying strategies to transform her. The drive to alter the sit…
Filipino Elite Women and Public Health in the American Colonial Era, 1906-1940
This article is the first step in the process of writing Filipino elite women into the history of public health by focusing on those who were not health practitioners (not doctors, nurses or midwives), but who were heavily involved in the campaign against infant mortality in the American colonial period. It argues that Filipino elite women fulfilled the extremely important role of administrators of organizations that addressed infant care and mat…
These Guys Came Out Looking Like Movie Actors”
This article analyzes the dress and consumption practices of the first generation of Filipino male migrants to the United States who arrived from 1906 until the end of World War II. It argues that Filipino migrant men used dress and consumption practices to fashion new identities that rejected their working selves as a lower-class marginal group. The contrast between the utilitarian clothes worn during working hours and the formal suit accentuate…

Dress, Status, and Identity in the Philippines
Piña cloth signaled the epitome of luxury, refinement, and wealth in nineteenth-century Philippines. Woven from the delicate threads of the fiber of the pineapple plant in a labor-intensive process that produced only half an inch a day in the nineteenth century to a meter a day today, it was a textile unique to the Philippines. This article analyzes the connections between cloth, dress, status, class, and national identity from the nineteenth-cen…

The Filipino Catholic Nun as Transnational Feminist
Filipino Catholic nuns became formidable activists in the women's movement as women's studies teachers, and as leaders and members of transnational organizations. This article argues that the nuns' unique location in the interstices—as transnational feminists who moved constantly from the local to the international—was what made them effective activists. Their continuous movements impacted on their subjectivities as feminist women. A peripatetic …

Gender, Nation and the Politics of Dress in Twentieth‐Century Philippines
This paper examines the politics of dress in twentieth‐century Philippines, exploring the imbrication of dress, politics and gender. It argues that there was an inherent tension between Western Dress/Filipino Dress in the period as the contrast between these two types of dress came to represent opposing political and gendered identities. The visual categories of Western Dress/Filipino Dress did not always 'naturally' correspond to not nationalist…
The Militant Nun as Political Activist and Feminist in Martial Law Philippines
During the martial law era (1972-1986), the militant nuns were the most visible symbols of political activism: they dominated the Task Force Detainees, they were active in the underground press, and were present in the labour strikes and demonstrations. But, in becoming political activists, they discovered the potential of moral power as women religious figures. During the People Power revolution, for example, the nuns – armed only with rosaries,…

Kinship Politics in Post-War Philippines
On being awarded the Legion of Honor by President Corazon Aquino, Joaquin 'Chino.' Roces, publisher of The Manila Times, pleaded with the president:Please allow me to remind you, first. That our people brought a new government to power because our people felt an urgent need for change. That change was nothing more and nothing less than that of moving quickly into a new moral order. The people believed, and many of them still do, that when we said…

Filipino Identity in Fiction, 1945-1972
The Philippines in the immediate post-war years may be described as a nation in search of an identity. This preoccupation with what one journalist has dubbed 'the question of identity' spurred a sudden interest in the research and discussion of things Filipino: Filipino dance, theater, literature, language, music, art and cultural traditions. After four hundred and fifty years of colonial rule the Filipino intelligentsia began to wonder if indeed…

Compadrazco and Delicadeza in Philippine Political Culture
This paper explores the Filipinized versions of the Iberian concepts of compadrazco (ritual kinship) and delicadeza (noblesse oblige and the importance of being perceived as virtuous in matters of conflicts of interest) in the political culture of the Philippines through almost the entire 20th century. The survival of these concepts depended largely on their adjustment to the dominant culture of kinship politics (defined as utilizing political po…
