“Becoming Mexipino: Multiethnic Identities and Communities in San Diego” traces the historical and contemporary formations of Mexipino communities in California. The book illustrates how Mexicans’ and Filipinos’ shared struggles—with Spanish colonialism, racial segregation, labor and civil rights, for instance—and bonds formed around food, music, religion and other cultural practices helped forge a distinct multiethnic experience and identity.
Join us for an evening of storytelling, imagery and dialogue with author Rudy Guevarra Jr., PhD, that will examine the complex relationships between Mexicans and Filipinos and what it means to be mixed race in America.
