It begins with background on the research and the project methodology. This is followed by a review of the literature on mail-order brides & international marriages; information on the global & historical context for the arrival of Filipino mail-order brides in Canada, including the root causes of migration from the Philippines, immigration policies, and the growth of the Canadian Filipino community. Section 5 recounts six stories of Filipino mail-order brides and section 6 presents a profile of the 40 study participants. Section 7 presents study findings with regard to the women's situation in the Philippines, the bride-shopping transaction, and the women's situation in Canada, with emphasis on their vulnerability to exploitation & abuse. The final section draws on the findings of the study to make recommendations for policy development in five areas: immigration, violence against women & trafficking in women, women's economic security, human rights, and the legal system.

By the year 2000 more than 350 Internet agencies were plying the email-order marriage trade, and the business of matching up mostly Western men with women from Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America had become an example of globalization writ large. This provocative work opens a window onto the complex motivations and experiences of the people behind the stereotypes and misconceptions that have exploded along with the practice of transnational courtship and marriage. Combining extensive Internet ethnography and face-to-face fieldwork, Romance on a Global Stage looks at the intimate realities of Filipinas, Chinese women, and U.S. men corresponding in hopes of finding a suitable marriage partner. Through the experiences of those engaged in pen pal relationships—their stories of love, romance, migration, and long-distance dating—this book conveys the richness and dignity of women's and men's choices without reducing these correspondents to calculating opportunists or naive romantics. Attentive to the structural, cultural, and personal factors that prompt women and men to seek marriage partners abroad, Romance on a Global Stage questions the dichotomies so frequently drawn between structure and agency, and between global and local levels of analysis.

An Instant New York Times Bestseller and #1 Indie Bestseller! A William C. Morris YA Debut Award Finalist An Asian Pacific American Librarians Association Honor Book Two friends. One fake dating scheme. What could possibly go wrong? Frank Li has two names. There's Frank Li, his American name. Then there's Sung-Min Li, his Korean name. No one uses his Korean name, not even his parents. Frank barely speaks any Korean. He was born and raised in Southern California. Even so, his parents still expect him to end up with a nice Korean girl--which is a problem, since Frank is finally dating the girl of his dreams: Brit Means. Brit, who is funny and nerdy just like him. Brit, who makes him laugh like no one else. Brit . . . who is white. As Frank falls in love for the very first time, he's forced to confront the fact that while his parents sacrificed everything to raise him in the land of opportunity, their traditional expectations don't leave a lot of room for him to be a regular American teen. Desperate to be with Brit without his parents finding out, Frank turns to family friend Joy Song, who is in a similar bind. Together, they come up with a plan to help each other and keep their parents off their backs. Frank thinks he's found the solution to all his problems, but when life throws him a curveball, he's left wondering whether he ever really knew anything about love—or himself—at all. In this moving debut novel—featuring striking blue stained edges and beautiful original endpaper art by the author—David Yoon takes on the question of who am I? with a result that is humorous, heartfelt, and ultimately unforgettable.

The topics in this book apply to Filipinos in general terms. It is not meant to stereotype Filipinos, and should not be construed in any way as truth for all Filipinos. Everyone is unique, and certainly your Filipina (Pinay) girlfriend's response to a situation would vary depending on where she was raised (city or province/country side) and how she was raised. Hopefully, this book will ease the culture shock you might have in visiting a country that is different from your own, and help you understand your girlfriend's background, and why she acts, talks, and responds the way she does.Some topics include short anecdotes from the authors' personal experiences.50 Things Topics:The Country 1) Island Living 2) Hot or Not 3) Filipino English 4) Country of Extremes 5) Religion 6) Transportation 7) Organized Chaos 8) CurrencyThe Culture 9) Pasalubong10) Game On11) Holidays and Fiestas12) Christmas13) Hospitality14) Superstition15) Pouty Point16) Language Nuances17) Balikbayan Box18) Smile, you're on camera19) Eyebrows Up20) Teasing21) Talk of the Town22) Will you Marry Me23) Small Talk24) Hello, Eat25) Romantics at Heart26) Bro-mance27) Karaoke28) Laugh Out Loud29) Rich and Famous30) Price of Fame31) Whitening Stuff32) Birthday Treat33) Conservative34) PDA35) Bless36) Loud Voice37) Confrontation38) Filipino Time39) Filipino Food40) Gratitude to Parents41) Bayanihan42) PamamanhikanThe Girl43) Soap Opera44) He said, She said45) Single Living with Parents46) YayaSome Things to Consider47) Real Filipina48) Street Food49) Bottled Water50) Plug-in Ready
