Trade Review"Alison Marshall is a wise ethnographer. She is keenly aware of her own positionality as both non-Filipino and a researcher interacting with her participants…Marshall is self-aware, and she knows that what appears mundane to some reveals just as much about the beholder as the object of their gaze." -- Lydia Bringerud, Memorial University of Newfoundland * Journal of Folklore Research *
"This study of Filipinos in Manitoba is highly recommended for its scholarly value and as an interesting read about energetic and hardworking new Canadians." -- Terence J. Fay SJ, University of Toronto *
