This “ groundbreaking book . . . is essential reading not only for the Filipino diaspora but for anyone who cares about the mysteries of racial identity” (Jose Antonio Vargas, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist). Is race only about the color of your skin? In The Latinos of Asia, Anthony Christian Ocampo shows that what “color” you are depends largely on your social context. Filipino Americans, for example, helped establish the Asian American movement and are classified by the US Census as Asian. But the legacy of Spanish colonialism in the Philippines means that they share many cultural characteristics with Latinos, such as last names, religion, and language. Thus, Filipinos’ “color” —their sense of connection with other racial groups—changes depending on their social context. The Filipino story demonstrates how immigration is changing the way people negotiate race, particularly in cities like Los Angeles where Latinos and Asians now constitute a collective majority. Amplifying their voices, Ocampo illustrates how second-generation Filipino Americans’ racial identities change depending on the communities they grow up in, the schools they attend, and the people they befriend. Ultimately, The Latinos of Asia offers a window into both the racial consciousness of everyday people and the changing racial landscape of American society.

Divided into five main parts, this work seeks to understand the phenomenon of the diaspora from many different perspectives. The lopsided distribution of articles that make up these parts, however--two demographic, two biblical-theological, two missiological, nine strategic, and eight narrative--reveals the book's strategic and practical bias. This is not necessarily to criticize the book so much as to point out the need for others to do further theoretically oriented research on the yet largely untouched issue of migration as mission. Its lopsidedness also reveals the book's conservative evangelical orientation, as many of the articles seem to force themselves to conform to a particular vision of world evangelization. Again, this comment is not so much to criticize as to point out the need for other mission traditions to look at the reality of the diaspora from different angles in order to understand it more fully. Melba Maggay's slim Jew to the Jew, Greek to the Greek: Reflections on Culture and Globalization (ISACC, 2001) addresses similar issues, but it cannot be considered a precedent for Scattered. The latter breaks new ground for a Filipino theology of mission as it enables the church at home to view its scattered peoples as partners in the cause. As Tira concludes in her article, "May the dispersion of the Filipino nation result [in] the gathering of many" (p. 165).

Nowhere can we appreciate so easily the intertwined nature of the triple forces of knowledge accumulation--capital, colonial, and racial--than in the imperial museum, where the objects of accumulation remain materially, visibly preserved. Sarita See maintains that it is this material collection of artifacts associated with the racial, colonial primitive that forms the foundation of American knowledge production. The Filipino Primitive takes Karl Marx's concept of "primitive accumulation," usually conceived of as an economic process for the acquisition of land and the extraction of labor, and argues that we also must understand it as a project of knowledge accumulation. Taking us through the Philippine collections at the University of Michigan Natural History Museum and the Frank Murphy Memorial Museum, also in Michigan, See reveals these exhibits as both allegory and real case of the primitive accumulation subtending imperial American knowledge, just as the extraction of Filipino labor contributes to American capitalist colonialism. With this understanding of the Filipino foundations of the development of an American accumulative drive toward power and knowledge, we can appreciate the value of Filipino American cultural producers like Carlos Bulosan, Stephanie Syjuco, and Ma-Yi Theater Company who have created incisive parodies of an accumulative epistemology, even as they articulate powerful alternative, anti-accumulative social ecologies.
