Join Professor Mariano in a talk inspired by her book, “Giving Back: Filipino America and the Politics of Diaspora Giving.” 

The book explores transnational giving practices as political objects that shape the Filipino diaspora.

“Giving Back shows how integral this system is for understanding Filipino diaspora formation. The book “follows the money” to investigate the cultural, social, economic, and political conditions of diaspora giving. She takes an interdisciplinary approach to reveal how power operates through this charity and the ways the global economic and cultural dimensions of this practice reinforce racial subordination and neocolonialism. Giving Back explores how this charity can stabilize overlapping systems of inequality as well as the contradictions of corporate social responsibility programs in the diaspora.”
