Chinese and Chinese Mestizos of Manila Family, Identity, and Culture, 1860s-1930s Richard T. Chu For centuries, the Chinese have been intermarrying with inhabitants of the Philippines, resulting in a ereolized community of Chinese mestizos under the Spanish colonial regime. In comtemporary Philippine society, the "Chinese" are seen as a racialized "Other" while descendants from early Chinese-Filipino intermarriages as "Filipino." Previous scholarship attributes this development to the identification of Chinese mestizos with the equally :Hispanicized" and "Catholic" indios. Building on works in Chinese transnationalism and cultural anthropology, this book examines the everyday practices of Chinese merchant families in Manila from the 1860s to the 1930s. The result is a fascinating study of how families and individuals creatively negotiated their identities in ways that challenge our understanding of the genesis ethnic identities in the Philippines. "... [This book] helps contribute to the revision of existing literature on the Chinese and mestizos with a new perspective that highlights the emerging field of transnational studies." Prof. Augusto Espiritu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign "... the author does an outstanding job and we recommend that citizens of the Philippine 'nation' whether they see themselves as 'Chinese' or 'Filipino' would do well to read this work and understand the origins of the racial stereotypes that enfluences the way they look at particular members of Philippine society, particularly in Manila." Prof. Ellen Palangca and Prof. Clark Alejandrino, Ateneo de Manila University Richat T. Chu received his A.B. from Ateneo de Manila University (1986), his M.A. from Stanford University (1994), and his Ph.D. from University of Southern California (2003). He is currently Five College Associate Professor of History at University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where her teaches courses on Chinese diasporic history, Asian history, and Philippine Colonial history. He has published several articles on the Chinese in the Philippines, including those that appear in Philippine Studies and Positions. His other book is Chinese Merchants of Binondo in the Nineteenth Century.
