Honoring the landscapes, community, and connections that weave the gorgeous and complex histories of Filipinos at home and in the diaspora.

“We are the vision and the star, the quietus of pain;
we are the terminals of inquisition, the hiatuses
of a new crusade; we are the subterranean subways
of suffering; we are the will of dignities;
we are the living testament of a flowering race.”
—Carlos Bulosan, If You Want to Know What We Are
As we close out the thirtieth annual Filipino American History Month and continue to celebrate a decade of The Margins, we turn to our rich archive to uplift the breadth of works by Filipino American writers, readers, and movement makers. With contemporary poetry, lyric essays, conversations with old friends and new, and more, we honor the landscapes, community, and connections that weave the gorgeous and complex histories of Filipinos at home and in the diaspora. We hope you’ll celebrate with us!
