Considering how the "transnational Filipina body" refers to gendered figures of Filipina/o transnationalism that includes maids, nannies, nurses, and sex workers, Gina Velasco examines how these bodies circulate within both Filipina diasporic cultural production as well as global popular culture. In order to present a queer analysis of Filipina/o American cultural production, the author analyzes several figures of Filipina/o transnationalism: the mail order bride, the sex worker and trafficked woman, the Filipina/o American expatriate, and the cyborg as a utopian figure of transnational belonging. Identifying these bodies in Filipina/o American performance, video/film, websites, and heritage language programs, Velasco considers whether Filipina/o American tropes of the Philippine nation, which both reproduce and challenge the heteronormativity and masculinism of nationalism, can encompass a queer and feminist imagining of the Filipino labor diaspora"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $z Philippines $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Women household employees $z Philippines. 650 0 $a Filipinos $z United States. 650 0 $a Women in popular culture $z Philippines. 650 0 $a Women in popular culture $z United States. 650 0 $a Feminist theory. 650 0 $a Queer theory. 650 7 $a Feminist theory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922816 650 7 $a Filipinos. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00924213 650 7 $a Queer theory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739572 650 7 $a Women household employees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01734125 650 7 $a Women in popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177953 650 7 $a Women $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176947 651 7 $a Philippines. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205261 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Velasco, Gina K, 1977- $t Queering the global Filipina body $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, 2020. $z 9780252052354 $w (DLC) 2020025979 830 0 $a Asian American experience. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015709.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE6FCA3AEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
