Abstract

Queering the Global Filipina Body: Contested Nationalisms in the Filipina/o Diaspora, written by Gina K. Velasco, engages with the intersections and relationships of gender, sexuality, and nationalism as it is understood through the nuanced and complex variations of Filipina/o diasporic identities and communities. This book delves into how Filipina/o diasporic identities are constructed, contested, and recreated through the different expressions of gender and sexuality through the discussion of the concept of the Global Filipina Body.
