Among the Sea Gypsies

Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Everyone has a story to tell. But not all have voices. That's what drove me to write this book --- to serve as a small voice to a marginalized, discriminated against and oppressed tribe in the Philippines; the Badjao. My experiences take place on the island of Mindanao. Mindanao is the Southern most and second largest island in the entire Philippine archipelago. This book divided into two parts; the first part tells about the world I used to revolve in back in the First World and the second part the one I am now living with my new-found Badjao friends in the Third World. This is not a history book nor is it an ethnography book. This is a narrative of my actual experiences with my Badjao friends in the Philippines and how they changed my general viewpoints about life and strengthened my spiritual faith. This is a book about my journey towards understanding a widely misunderstood group of people in this part of the Philippines. I don't claim to know all about them, I simply love them. In the end, it was them who gave me more lessons in life than I thought I could teach them. I taught them ABCs and arithmetic. They taught me resilience, freedom, contentment and happiness. By purchasing this book you will help change the world. Well, maybe not the whole world, but certainly the world of the Badjao children who attend the Babina Monare Badjao Learning Center. Thank you for your purchase.

Beauty and Power
Author: Mark Johnson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000184579
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
This compelling study of gender and sexual diversity in the Southern Philippines addresses general questions about the relationship between the making of gender and sexualities, the politics of national and ethnic identities and processes of cultural transformation in a world of contract labourers and transnational consumers. The book focuses, in particular, on the meaning and experience of local 'gays' -- transvestite/transgender-homosexual men -- who are at once celebrated as purveyors of beauty (defined in terms of a global American otherness) and valorized as impotent men and defiled women. In short, America functions both as a sign of their abjected status and as a space for imagining and reformulating various gendered identities. This innovative work -- one of the first ethnographic studies to be published in the aftermath of the region's civil unrest -- will be of interest to anyone working on gender, the body and sexuality. Not only does it extend the boundaries of cross-cultural studies of non-mainstream genders and sexualities by directly engaging the entanglement of local sensibilities with global images and discourse, but it also demonstrates that there is nothing ambiguous about ambiguity -- gendered, sexual or otherwise. Rather, this ambiguity is the specific product of different historical relations of power through which various cultural subjects are created and re-create themselves.
