N2  - The Filipino diaspora is at least 400 years old. Since the sixteenth century, Filipinos have been going to foreign lands to find their place in the sun. In the beginning they were known as the Manila Men. It was only in the nineteenth century that they assumed their present identity as Filipinos. Filipinos by hundreds traveled yearly to Mexico and the Americas, with many electing to stay and find a new life. This book attempts to answer to those questions often asked: What happened to those Filipinos who started the diaspora? (U.P. Press)
