Filipino American National Historical Society Journal: Bridges (Vol. 12, 2024) – Now in Print!

Filipino American National Historical Society Journal (FANHS) Volume 12

The new issue of the Filipino American National Historical Society Journal, Volume 12, focuses on the theme of bridges, taking inspiration from the 1994 speech by founding FANHS president Fred Cordova that honors the Bridge Generation, or second generation of Filipino Americans, for their pioneering work. As guest editor Lily Ann B. Villaraza writes in her introduction to the issue:

Bridges teach us to meet trepidation with tenacity and resolve; they challenge us to face our fears and to move with intention and purpose. Some of these works bridge us to the past; others call on us to think about our collective future. Some of the works bring marginalized narratives to the forefront; others demonstrate connection across generation, ocean, and time. All of these works, in one way or another, bridge our personal understanding of the Filipino American experience to other people’s understanding of the Filipino American experience.

The issue is now available digitally via Project MUSE and in print via subscription with the University of Hawai‘i Press.
