Hi everyone!

 

It was great meeting you all at the FAHNS meeting and I look forward to our future work together.

 

Here are some of  the important topics discussed in our workshop, “The 1.5 Generation: The Making of the Filipino-American”.

 

Major topics:

 

1).        Preimmigration:

                        Expectations

                        Realities

 

2).        Integration of values:

                        Community

                        “Doing without being seen or noticed”

                        Respect for elders and those in positions of authority

                       

3).        Assertiveness

                        Work

                        Family

 

4).        Parallel lives:

                        Family

                        Work

 

5).        Racism

                        Crossing generations line

                                    Subtler manifestations recently

 

6).        Wide variation:

                        Based on Gender, location, possibly socio-economic status

 

If there are any other points that I may have missed, please email me!

 

Mabuhay!
