Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"I greatly enjoyed reading this well-crafted, sophisticated, and deeply moving oral history and enthusiastically endorse its engagement in courses in U.S. history, migration studies, and labor analysis." --Pacific Historical Review
"Accessible and sophisticated. Paligutan’s exploration of the recruitment and experiences of Filipino navy men is an excellent illustration of how economic underdevelopment of the Philippines in the interests of US economic and political gain created the first of many pools of cheap Filipino migrant workers. Paligutan has done a fantastic job at weaving in an intersectional analysis of gender, particularly masculinity, throughout the book."--Valerie Francisco-Menchavez, author of The Labor of Care: Filipina Migrants and Transnational Families in the Digital Age
