Manoa Campus, George Hall 213

Sakadas, Buk Buks, and Entrepreneurs: History, Identity, and Representation among Filipinos in Hawai'i, a colloquium by Dr. Roderick Labrador.

Drawing from an ethnographic study conducted in Honolulu, this presentation examines local Filipino representational politics, particularly how Filipinos in Hawaii construct, contest, and negotiate notions of identity, history, culture and community.

Using the building and grand opening of the Filipino Community Center as an analytical site, I investigate the behavioral, discursive, and ideological practices used to enact identity territorializations that create a sense of place and a sense of self.

The representational tension in these territorializations reveal a repertoire of Filipino identities that offers a window on community politics and identity formation.
