Racism has long played a part in shaping public perceptions of Filipinos and their experiences in Hawaiʻi. In an effort to challenge common stereotypes and misconceptions, Lance D. Collins and Aina Iglesias lead a discussion about Filipino identity and community across the islands. Beginning with the history and culture of the peoples of the Philippines and their place in the Pacific, Collins and Iglesias contextualize the immigration of Filipinos to Hawai'i as laborers on plantations. They address the effect of colonial and racist structures and ideologies on law and public policy, laying the foundation for a dialogue about the present-day experiences, accomplishments, and struggles of Filipinos in Hawaiʻi.
